Lovely room but poor bed.

Hotel was lovely and clean with spacious areas and rooms. Two negatives unfortunately. The bed was very creaky and uncomfortable and the evening meal was only Luke warm which spoilt the stay.

Comfortable

Like others have said the hotel is in need of a refurbishment. Our twin room was clean & comfortable but dated. Some areas of the hotel had a real smell of dampness. Overall the place is okay & staff were all friendly & helpful.

Hidden Gem

This hotel is genuinely a hidden gem, whilst it is an old building it has some much character. I’ve never had an evening meal watching a live curling game on ice - food was very good too !

Older historical hotel that needs a refresh.

The history and location of this hotel is pretty cool, but I don’t think I would book here again. It is/was a lovely hotel, but it is in serious need of some upgrades. My chief complaint is that the beds are rock hard. Everything else I could overlook, but that was a tough night’s sleep. The food is ok, the views are lovely and the staff is all very lovely. Having an elevator was useful, but it was honestly a little scary, and had a musty smell.

A character hotel

A fabulous character hotel that we return to every year as we love the pool. the rooms are spacious, comfortable and warm (we always have a winter stay) and the staff are very friendly and welcoming

Last minute booking due to travel changes! The hotel was perfect for us for a one night stopover - clean and a decent sized family room holding the three of us! Staff very nice and friendly and a good breakfast!
Thomas, 1-night trip

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!

Barry, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely relaxing break. Food and service were excellent. Enjoyed the leisure centre although it has to be said that the pool area and changing rooms badly need upgrading. We would certainly consider a return visit.

Justin, 2-night trip

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.

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.

Had a very nice one night stay and will definitely return, Lovely big room, great undisturbed sleep, nice and warm with a lovely view. Thank You 😊
