Property was quiet, a bit of noise from, other guests but only to be expected. This is quite a large hotel but we visited in February so I cannot vouch for what it is like in summer. Location is good and is convenient for beach, supermarkets and public transport. The staff we dealt with were efficient and friendly. We would visit again.

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!

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.

Traditional Scottish hotel and curling club.
One night stay prior to getting the ferry from Cairnryan. Reception staff welcoming after a late check in. Large room, well appointed and bright clean bathroom. Connected curling club is an added bonus, the bar area also serves snacks. This presented great value.

Great location
A rather grand hotel on the edge of Stranraer ideal for a stop before or after a ferry sailing from Cairnryan or as a tour base for the Rhinns of Galloway. Good sized room with en suite bathroom. Slightly dated in appearance but good hot water! Great breakfast with freshly cooked hot food to order. Ample parking. Only negative was the room was slightly too hot for my liking - but that's a personal preference
