I just was just here for one night after getting off the ferry at Cairnryan before continuing my journey the next morning. The staff were helpful and lovely both on reception and in the dinning room at breakfast. The room was spacious and bed was incredibly comfy probably one of the comfiest beds I’ve slept in. Breakfast was lovely with both options of cereal, fruit, yoghurt and a cooked breakfast from a menu which was superb. I would definitely stay here again if passing through to and from the ferry port or even to stay and explore more of the area around this part of Galloway

Refurbished rooms to a high standard. The main hotel is somewhat tired but the rooms are clean and modern. The pool area is also in need of a make over but the hotel have invested wisely. Great location, be advised there is a car park towards the rear of the property in addition to front.
