Pleasant staff with warm welcome. Room clean and well presented, comfy bed.

No breakfast which I knew before booking, and bar closed on Mon-Wed. I booked this hotel because of the good ratings. Staff did recommend alternative which was good.

Well appointed base to explore the Machars
Pros:

Really centrally located to explore Wigtown and other sites of Dumfries and Galloway, the Blackhorse Hotel is a great place to base yourself at if you're looking for affordable accommodation which delivers a warm welcome.

Cons:

While not a problem as on road parking is easy to find (and there are no parking restrictions), it's worth noting there is no on site parking. The kitchen and pub aren't open for much of the week (possibly this changes in the summer?!) there are still plenty of places to get food though nearby.

Friendly, well located and very good value
Pros:

Friendly, accessible

Cons:

room was very hot (unusual spell of warm weather in Scotland), but with only the top small window opening it was difficult to cool down at night.
No breakfast but cafe open opposite from early so no major problem

We enjoyed our stay a lot mainly due to the welcoming and helpful manager.
Pros:

The room has a big television which after a long cycle ride was welcome. The bed was comfortable and the outside area was great to sit in. It was handy for the town and our cycle route. The manager was very helpful. My husband enjoyed the pool table

Cons:

The room was slightly small. Breakfast was not offered.

Very good
Pros:

Good location, lots of parking on the road. Bed was super comfortable. The host, Derek, was accommodating and pleasant. A few treats in the room to welcome you.

Cons:

The room was very small, albeit a comfortable bed. You could only get into the bed from one side so the other person had to climb over you. The shower had lots of hot water but it was super small.
