    Amazing location over looking the sea. Amazing breakfast, the omelette was wonderful. The hosts were a pleasure, very kind and peaceful. I was in the area for a wedding and Brendan gave me a ride to the location so I didn't have to take a taxi! So generous and kindly let me stay a little past checkout so I could get my hair sorted! The bed was very big and comfortable, everything was spotlessly clean, I couldn't have asked for anything more :-D

    The room was spotlessly clean. Plenty of towels are available, the decor is delightful, and the size of the room is perfect. They allow pets, which is fantastic. The location is ideal for the beach and the town itself. Although it is a pub, there is little to no noise to be heard and therefore disturb. Parking is on the street but directly outside, and the pubs cameras ensure that your vehicle can be seen.

    We had to catch the ferry from Cairnryan early this morning so we picked Windsor House as a place to stay close to the port. The location was ideal and the accommodation was very comfortable for me, my wife and two children. Easy to access and very clean. The lady we spoke to before our departure was very friendly.
