This hotel was excellent. The guy who checked us in made everything so chill, quick and easy. The hotel room was lovely. There was no hassle with leaving early either. And the tea and biscuits were greatly appreciated. Will definitely be i this hotel to any friends and family who will be in the area to catch the boat.

We had such an amazing holiday! We loved everything about the accommodation, the farm, the location... view is spectacular, overseeing the Irish coast. The lodge is fully equipped, but shall you require anything extra, Kay & Ian are more than happy to help! They are the most welcoming hosts! (Thank you, again, Kay & Ian!❤️) We were lucky enough to visit during lambing season and got a chance to see the wee lambs and to feed them...so precious! A huuuge plus for the very hot water, it's one of the few accommodations ever (!!!) with such high water pressure and temperature, which is God given after day trips. The welcome basket was insane, with home-made biscuits and cupcakes. We got cheese, butter, fresh milk and farm eggs..and many, MANY more! Everything was just PERFECT!

    There's almost zero reason to visit Stranraer itself; no ferries run from here now. I found one decent shop of interest, the little museam was ok and free. The proximity to the mull of galloway and the rhins was my reason for staying. The accomodation choice was not great, but Royal Hotel was the best option

    Stranraer is a little rundown after its fortunes were affected by the relocation of the ferry along the road to Cairnryan. Much of the harbour is run down with tatty parking bays for ferry vehicles. However there are hidden gems, the swan lido and park by the water, an ACTUAL tourist information office, helpful public library. Decent if rather retro restaurants - Chinese, pizza oven. Museum and castle to visit although check opening hours.

    A very nice and friendly town, with everything handy.

    A very nice and friendly town, with everything handy. Would recommend Dnisi coffee and cafe, their scones are great, with a great selection of drinks and food available. Also Baxters, a beautiful shop with goodies galore, definitely worth a visit, and if you are looking for a perfect gift it's the place to go. Had a great night at Stranraer FC bar in the centre of town. A lively and friendly night with Live music, dancing and a sing-a-long. Perfect Scottish hospitality. ❤

    Good location for exploring surrounding countryside. Shopping street and buildings in need of help. Henry’s Bay house was fun with excellent food and a view. Some good facilities like the swimming pool although not visited on this trip. Good to be able to visit the Corsewall lighthouse area.

    Friendly check in staff, our rooms were ready on arrival, even though we arrived early, and I was pleasantly surprised to have been allocated a sea view suite. I've stayed at the North West Castle several times and never had any issues. I enjoyed the swimming pool, sauna and jacuzzi as on my previous stays. Breakfast choice was extensive and freshly cooked, unlike some tepid buffets. Absolutely nothing negative to say about our stay and I look forward to returning in the near future.

    This is a hidden gem. It is near the town but not in it. It has breath taking views overlooking Cairnryan loch. The owners were so friendly. The breakfast was really good too. There was a swimming pool and a hot tub. Car parking was spacious too.

    Sandy was there to meet us and was really friendly. The rooms were basic but perfectly good. We were there to watch the football and have a 'few' beers and it was a perfect place to crash, near to the town centre with the pubs and restaurants.
