Corsewall Arms Guest House is situated in Stranraer and offers a terrace. Among the facilities at this property are a housekeeping service and private check-in and check-out, along with free WiFi throughout the property.

Jo was very helpful. I came from Belfast with Stena Line. The ferry had five hours delay. That meant I arrived at Cosewell Arms at midnight. Jo (the owner) organized the "key-box" and I could enter without problem. The next morning a complete Scottish breakfast. GREAT

    Beautiful guest house, very tastefully and classy furnishings, loved the woodwork. Excellent breakfast, fabulous hosts, and a great location for staying the night before heading off to Northern Ireland on the ferry. Would highly recommend, excellent value for money. A lovely touch having a decanter of whisky in the room

    Perfect bed & breakfast overlooking the lake. A delicious cooked breakfast by Brendan who was a great host. The view from the room was amazing and very memorable. It’s in a lovely, quiet location on the edge Stranraer. The room was huge, beautifully-decorated and with an enormous, comfortable bed. We would definitely stay here again!

    The rooms were lovely...beds were very comfortable, the rooms were spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated, and they are well equipped. There was an excellent amount of choice for breakfast, and it was delicious. Elaine, the host was so welcoming and friendly, and the guest house is in a great location (only 15 mins from the Cairnryan ferry port.) Lakeview Guesthouse has everything that you need for a wonderful stay.
