The people. Roy came out of his store and greeted us and then walked us to two great places to eat. At the Caslte Hotel we were treated like royality. It was before supper time so they made fixed up our table and served us in style. The food and service was wonderful. David was our taxi driver for all our stay and was also a wonderful guide to the area.

Stranraer is a ferry port with good bus links to Dumfries.
Stranraer is a ferry port with good bus links to Dumfries. The tow, itself had a "sedate ' feel to it. Traffic was slow and polite. Lots of fish and chips shops. The central castle / tower house is the only place of interest and museum. Famous centre for curling with rink open in winter months.

Absolutely highly recommend this beautiful stylish hotel,...
Absolutely highly recommend this beautiful stylish hotel, very clean, great food with a warm welcome
Excellent location on the sea front and lots of parking spaces. Beautiful reception area and staff were very welcoming and helpful. Room was very spacious with a small table and two chairs, large comfy bed and good facilities. Evening meal was lovely, very tasty and well presented with good choices; as was breakfast the next morning, absolutely perfect. The dining room is beautiful and set out nicely. The bars were both superb to have a drink and relax. Absolutely highly recommend this charming hotel, simply one of the best we have stayed in! We will definitely return!

Stranraer is wet and windy and very rundown.
Stranraer is wet and windy and very rundown. There is not a restaurant open past 9 o’clock. Very few takeaways and a Tesco’s and a Morrisons. There is nothing to do past 1730. Once the shops are closed our hotel we arrived at 2045 And the restaurant had already closed, there was no room service we had to go out in the pouring rain and wind to get a takeaway as they would not allow takeaway delivered to the hotel or to be eaten in hotel bar area which only one was open. We had to eat it in a room and it was cold by the time you got back so complete waste of money. This hotel is rundown and has been the same for the last 20 years. Last time we visited it. Stranraer was bustling, then as the port was in town. But no, there is only cairn Ryan you can leave from and it is 6 miles out of the village. All it’s good for is getting the ferry to Belfast.

Firstly, ships no longer berth in Stranraer as your photo depicts.Nothing wrong with Stranraer or the people who are very friendly, but industry and employment is desperately needed together with an improvement of the road network, in particular the 100 mile long A75. All thanks to the Scottish government who are spending the money on the capital City.
Got what we needed for 1 night stay over, room great size and clean,only negative I booked room as it had food advertised so thought handy for elderly parent rather than going looking for dinner elsewhere, unfortunately we picked night that kitchen was closed but girl who showed us to room was lovely and recommended a place not far that we could drive and park near, all good would recommend and book again when next in area
Very accommodating hosts who welcomed us (at nearly 10pm & almost 4 hrs late due to a delayed ferry from Belfast) with a "wee nip" of whisky to help us to our bed. Surprisingly large room with a very comfortable kingsize bed. Breakfast was very generous with several options available and an impressive selection of home-made preserves. Thoroughly recommended.
Brilliant location if you have a car. Stranraer is a couple of miles away for food shopping, and south is some fabulous little towns like Portpatrick. The scenery was amazing, and the cottage is very near the Southern Uplands Way walking route.
Enjoyed our stay in the Hotel even . We cannot praise the staff enough they are all very friendly and welcoming. As for the food it was excellent, probably the best we have had when booking DBB in Scotland. We will definitely be back again.
It was in easy reach of Cairnryan ferry port whilst on the way to Mull. The staff throughout were very approachable and welcoming. Both Dinner and Breakfast had plenty of choice and were a good quality and portion size.
Wilma was really welcoming and helped with parking right by the door. My room was at the back of the building, quiet and private. The hotel location was easy to find and close to main routes for ferry.
This a gem of a hotel which is perfect for the cairnryan ferry or walks along the loch Ryan paths. It is in Stranraer and near the picturesque coast. The owners are extremely helpful abd friendly.
Lovely staff- very friendly and helpful.
5 stayed for 1 night.
Twin rooms were spacious and clean.
Breakfast was lovely.
Parking and near pubs, restaurants and bars.
Would go back again
This is a very friendly hotel with excellent rooms and facilities. Great choice for breakfast and good value for money. Our room had a view over the sea. would definitely stay again.
Very cozy hotel. You could tell a lot of love and care went into the smallest detail.
The breakfast was hot and very good. Late check-in was very easy. No noise. 🥰🌻
Lovely location, beautiful views of surrounding countryside and lovely walk to the nearest beach and along the clifftop to Portpatrick. Nice area for cycling also.
