Good size rooms for our needs, being in the bungalow was a bonus as there was a wedding in the hotel and it was pretty busy.

The place was so cute, clean and right on the Main Street, close to everything. The couple that owns it was so responsive to all of our questions beforehand and while we were there and so friendly.They were very accommodating when our check in time was changed due to a train being cancelled. The breakfast was made to order and delicious! The price was excellent! The beds were super comfortable.

I didn’t enjoy my time there…but I only stayed one night, and it was raining, so…..
The town looks tired, and a typical Scottish seaside town on its decline, sadly.
We used it as a stop over before sailing to Northern Ireland. One night was enough!

We had booked 6 nights. 4 or 5 would have been enough to visit the area.
We visited lovely places and met local people who are really friendly and welcoming. We do love the area but next time we go we'll look for another type of accomodation, not a hotel, because the restaurants are quite expensive (even if of good quality) and airbnb would allow us to save at least the cost of one meal at the restaurant a day...

Stranraer is a town that sadly has not recovered from the ferries moving three miles down the coast and bypassing the town. The poverty is everywhere you turn. I did not feel safe in the town
We ate in the customs House as it was dog friendly, we had booked a table, but we were at the bar a full ten minutes before being acknowledged by a member of staff. In fairness to the three staff on they were doing there best but they were severely understaffed.

There are nice scenic spots to visit near / around Stranraer, such as Castle Kennedy gardens,
Port Logan, Logan House estate whose owner donated part of their gardens to become today’s Stranraer Logan Botanic Garden. You can also visit
Castle St John in the town centre, as well as the museum. You can even come to join us for African drumming fun every fortnightly Thursday ! I myself travel 3.5 hours every fortnight on Thursday to practise African drum with this group whose drumming standard is very very high ! Always great fun ! That’s why I am willing to travel 7 hours door to door for my drumming fun every two weeks !
And, although I bring my own home-cooked food here, I also eat at some nice bistros and cafes.

A small, interesting working town on the west bank of Loch Ryan, visited right at the beginning of the season. Henry's Bay House Restaurant is excellent for food and the Ryan Centre has a swimming pool as well as a theatre/cinema with a good programme. There is a great view of the loch and Stranraer is ideally situated for exploring all of Dumfries and Galloway. The people are very friendly, helpful and welcoming.

The people.
The people. Roy came out of his store and greeted us and then walked us to two great places to eat. At the Caslte Hotel we were treated like royality. It was before supper time so they made fixed up our table and served us in style. The food and service was wonderful. David was our taxi driver for all our stay and was also a wonderful guide to the area.
. The staff are brilliant. Helpful,friendly. Good food and drink at a reasonable price. Very clean. Dog friendly. Flooring in the bedroom is nice laminate not old carpet that you find in lots of dog hotel rooms. Easy quick way out for dog to go for a wee .
And I just loved the atmosphere of the place due staffs happy natural manners. . Very good night sleep . Early night . Highly recommended especially with your dog.
The location was excellent for our early Ferry trip to Belfast.
The rooms were very nice, clean with excellent bath and shower facilities.
Parking was easy on the street nearby and the instructions for entering and obtaining the room keys worked well.
Overall, a very pleasant place and the price was excellent.
Good position near town, lovely breakfast and comfy bar area and helpful bar, breakfast and reception staff.
It was an interesting place to stay architecturally and historically. I liked the fact I could buy paintings and cards there.
Excellent breakfast. Lovely owners. Great room.
Only tiny negative comment is that we were met on arrival by our lively host in 'near darkness' in the old bar so the atmosphere didn't feel very cheery after a long drive.
