Fabulous location, good food, nice staff. Bedroom door had terrible squeak, saw the handyman and he said he would fix it, but didn’t! In the morning took a long time to check out as the computer would not upload, it was 9.30! Parking £6.50 a night, not stated on the booking🙄

Faded glory

We received a warm welcome from the person on reception. It was also very hot inside because all the radiators were on full blast in May. The hotel is impressive but showing signs of age with creaking floorboards and flaking paint. Breakfast was fine and the staff were nice. Parking is not free for guests but plenty of free spaces in town.

Great place for taking your dog lots of walks nearby. Even a separate dinning room that you can take your pet into when at breakfast. Great views over the harbour.The only downside would be the evening dinner menu could be a bit more exciting and maybe a specials choice so as not the same menu each night.

Room for improvement!

Despite requesting room to be cleaned, no one did this. Receptionist ended up doing it! Hot water in room not that warm. Breakfast very tasty but evening meals poor. Slow service and food very ordinary and small portions. No hotel manager and appeared to be run by inexperienced young staff. Position of hotel excellent.Room was a superior double but appeared to be standard in overall appearance and facilities.

Friendly staff made our holiday

The young staff, most of them from the Stranraer area, could not have been friendlier, or prouder of their home town and surrounding area. At times there were signs that there were insufficient staff on duty, which caused delays at mealtimes and in the bar. The staff continued to do their very best; any resulting problems were due to this apparent lack of resources.

This is probably the friendliest hotel I've ever stayed in, and I've travelled a good bit. Everyone from reception to dining room staff to just staff you pass in the halls were great to deal with. The location is fantastic, overlooking the harbour. It's also ideally located for walking, with Dunskey Castle ruins to the south, and Killantringan Lighthouse to the north, and dramatic coastal scenery in between. Restaurant service was good. The hotel itself could use a little upgrading. The carpets were old/stained, et al. But this didn't really affect the stay. My only real grumble is the shower/water pressure, which was non-existent. Could do with investing in some electric shower systems. Having said that, everything else was fine: comfy bed, nice lounge area (with great views), bar, restaurant, outdoor seating, ample free parking, etc. I'd happily stay again.

It is a lovely hotel. The staff were brilliant. Nothing was a problem. Very Clean. It is suitable for all walks of lives. Only one thing i would say is that it could do with a lick of paint to freshen it up.
