10/10 Exceptional

A great hotel tucked away in Stranraer. We are regulars here now as we love the ambience, character and comfort of this hotel. The evening meal was superb with a good choice of menu. The room was spacious and luxurious and I always love a hotel with a bath!
Deirdre, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Dated hotel
Easy to find, plenty parking. Check in was straightforward. Big room, fairly comfortable but dated and worn. Took me ages to find the light switches hidden behind the pillows on the bed! Shower wasn't great. Didn't try the bar or restaurant and I left before breakfast was served.
Alister, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Terrific stay
Stay was fantastic.Some small repairs needed in the leisure suite but it did not affect our enjoyment of it. Hotel is a bit dated in places but there was evidence of ongoing work. Hotel is very central to the town. Staff and food were excellent. We had a very relaxing few days and had a wonderful room overlooking the Loch.

Traditional Scottish hotel and curling club.
One night stay prior to getting the ferry from Cairnryan. Reception staff welcoming after a late check in. Large room, well appointed and bright clean bathroom. Connected curling club is an added bonus, the bar area also serves snacks. This presented great value.

Stephen, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great location
A rather grand hotel on the edge of Stranraer ideal for a stop before or after a ferry sailing from Cairnryan or as a tour base for the Rhinns of Galloway. Good sized room with en suite bathroom. Slightly dated in appearance but good hot water! Great breakfast with freshly cooked hot food to order. Ample parking. Only negative was the room was slightly too hot for my liking - but that's a personal preference

Nice hotel with facilities
Hotel is lovely and rooms clean and basic for standard room. Food in restaurant was lovely however the breakfast on both days was terrible. Probably would not go back but only due to the terrible breakfast

Lovely hotel, friendly and knowledgeable staff. Great atmosphere and who wouldn’t love a hotel with a curling rink! Impressive.

10/10 Exceptional

Not bad at all.
A nice hotel with very nice staff. Feels homely and old fashioned which, depending on your taste, is good or bad. I didn’t need to really use any of the services provided, but they seemed attentive to their guests’ needs. WiFi was shocking, but because of location, that should be expected. Curling rinc is epic.
