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, 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.AAnonymous - 6.0Scored 6.0

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.

We were quite sad at how downtrodden Stranraer looked since we were there in 2019. It seems very little shops survived the pandemic and there is now very little to do. The buildings could do with a clean or a repaint. This once bustling town is a bit sorry for itself.ElaineUnited Kingdom - 8.0Scored 8.0
Stranraer itself has become very shabby and rundown.
Stranraer itself has become very shabby and rundown. However there are wonderful attractions all around it. Logan Botanic Garden was brilliant with a decent cafe. Portpatrick is a beautiful small village with lots of cliff walks while Sandhead has a fabulous beach. Castle Kennedy Gardens and Glenwhan Gardens are also nearby while Wigtown Book Town isn't too far away.SarahUnited Kingdom

Ideal for either popping into Stranraer for something to eat/drink, or local shops, also ideally located if your planning to catch the ferry to Ireland, and what a stop over first. The rooms are well laid out, with plenty of thought given to presentation, also having plenty of storage space, and the breakfast is fantastic with plenty of choices depending on what you wantdavidUnited Kingdom

- 9.5Scored 9.5ExceptionalRated exceptional· 85 reviewsThe property was very nice, lean, and cozy. The location is very good if you come by car, otherwise is far to reach it from the bus routes. However, we loved it. Very nice views around, quiet and relaxing place. Good starting point if you want to explore the area around. There are beaches, botanical gardens, castles, and children's playgrounds nearby. We loved it and will be back someday. Thank you.
IvayloUnited Kingdom - 9.5Scored 9.5ExceptionalRated exceptional· 1,014 reviewsPerfect place to stay for visiting Stranraer & for catching ferries from the nearby Cairnryan. Lots of parking just across the road. Decent, clean room. Hosts Alan & Elaine were both very friendly & accommodating; I had to leave at an ungodly hour to catch an early morning ferry and they made sure a good continental breakfast was still offered. The little bottle of whiskey was a lovely touch too :)
Katy YorkshireUnited Kingdom - 9.2Scored 9.2SuperbRated superb· 141 reviewsReally good stay in Portpatrick. Ian was a great host. The lodges are an ideal base for exploring the south west of Scotland. The lodges cater well for a family and provide the usual mod cons that will keep the kids happy. It’s an added bonus that they’re also dog friendly. Great views and is in a beautiful part of the world. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again.SimonUnited Kingdom
