About Creebridge Lodge B&B
Click to Enlarge
Creebridge Lodge offers 5 bedrooms of accommodation on the outskirts of Newton Stewart. All of our bedrooms offer ensuite facilities. The house, formerly known as Masonfield House, is full of character with many of it's original features. It was built by James Kinna in 1873, who also built nearby Dunbar and Riverstead houses. The lodge is thought to have been built with the same stone as the Cree Bridge, linking Minnigaff with Newton Stewart.
Being situated in Minnigaff, on the edge of Newton Stewart, the B&B is ideal for exploring the Galloway Forest Park and surrounding Scottish countryside, as well as being within easy walking distance to all local amenities. There is a large off road parking area at the front of the property for staying guests.
