My stay was exceptional, from the moment I was pleasantly greeted in the carpark while parking my motorbike. The whole premises was immaculate from the carpark, grounds, public areas and my room. my balcony with amazing views also the indoor pool area. Pool was clean warm which included a large hot tub, exercise machines and even a small sauna was also swimming goggles, pool floats, toys and a slide for the young people. Private changing cubicles. Room was fantastic fresh milk in the fridge, quality teabags, coffee and biscuits, large tv with plenty on channels very comfortable bed ample pillows. Bathroom had a spacious shower and some nice touches you dont find anywhere else such as his and hers dressing gowns, cotton buds, make remover pads. Breakfast was superb too, freshly cooked, tea coffee juice etc and the usual cereal fare. Can't fault a single thing. I would not hesitate to recommend this guest house to anyone. I 100% plan to revisit again.. If I have left anything out rest assured it would be 11 out of 10.

The Merchants House, hotel in Stranraer

Located in Cairnryan, The Merchants House offers a bar. Both free WiFi and parking on-site are available at the guest house free of charge.

The room was very comfortable. Really good information for guests. We had a lovely dinner when we arrived. The host, Fiona is very kind and attentive. In fact we had a lovely evening in the dining room as there was great conversation between all the diners. Good breakfast. Indeed if you are catching an early ferry, Fiona even offers a packed breakfast. There is plenty of traffic periodically on the busy road right outside the door, as the guest house is located between the two ferry ports but that did not disturb us.

    Our host - Elaine was very friendly and welcoming! The room exceeded our expectations, it looks much better than the photos and it is very spacious! Even though the guest house is on the main road the room was quiet and we had a great night sleep, the beds were very comfortable, as well! Very tasty kebab shop around the corner, which provided a tasty and much needed diner after our 4 hour-long drive! The breakfast was excellent - 10 out of 10!

    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

    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.
