Excellent location downtown. Good jumping off point for exploring the area. And the guy that runs the place (I never did get his name) was really helpful with suggestions for places to see.

Room was very comfortable and well appointed; TV needed a wee bit of attention but then worked perfectly (previous guest had been fiddling with it!); breakfast was one of the best cooked breakfasts I have enjoyed when staying away from home - freshly cooked to order and very tasty! A big 10/10 - eggselent!
Homey, friendly and immaculately clean accommodations.
Homey, friendly and immaculately clean accommodations. Pat was so helpful. The driveway is a bit hard to see on the way by but the place is scenic and convenient for leaving on the ferry. Ate a great meal at the Custom House pub.

The location is great, especially for access to the ferry ports. We visited Logan Botanic Gardens, Glenwhan Gardens and Castle Kennedy which are all within a short drive from Cairnryan. We had a lovely meal at Henry's Bay House restaurant in Stranraer. Also had a nice snack from Subway in Stranraer and delicious soup with home made bread at Glenwhan Gardens.
Would avoid trying to find somewhere to eat in Stranraer town as there are few restaurants that looked appealing.

It was where we caught the ferry to Ireland and if ever going again I would definitely use Cairnryan. We used a restaurant by the name of Henry’s Bay 10 mins away and it was very nice would recommend they did a teatime special that was excellent value for money and the staff were very attentive. The route to Ayr from Cairmryan has a beautiful coast way and well worth a drive to. There were some breathtaking views.

Cairnryan sits on the side of Loch Ryan and is therefore one sided. The village is 10-15 minutes from Stranraer which has plenty of pubs, cafes and restaurants. As a touring base or a stopover for the ferry Cairnryan is ideal but if you want nightlife that’s out.
We ate in Henry’s Bay House Restaurant which is very good. As for activities for young couples my wife and I are 73 and 70 years young so no advice on that. On the other side of the loch there are quite a few nice beaches within a 12 mile drive but take a picnic. As stated above touring is ideal. Portpatrick and the Mull of Galloway are well worth a visit in fine weather, as are Castle Kennedy and Logan gardens.

The whole experience was made easy by the friendliness of all. The only problem I had was it was too short. I would have liked to have been able to stay for a few days. But was unable to do so because of the nature of my travel reason.
Very nice and clean lodging with a beautiful view.
Pat and Bill are excellent hosts and they are very helpful and accommodating. From the original booking 5 months ago, keeping in touch in the months leading up to our trip, picking us up at the ferry and dropping us off to catch our bus the next morning, they made sure that we were looked after.
And we can’t forget about the delicious Scottish breakfast in the morning! We would definitely recommend the Cairnryan B & B. 🇨🇦🏴
We found our Garden Suite very comfortable. Check in/out was very easy. Our suite was very very clean and the bed was so comfortable. Lots of black glass which is a nightmare to keep clean and it was all spotless. It was so peaceful and really for us just perfect. Paul recommended Portpatrick so we went there and had lunch in Mount Stewart and it was fantastic. We opted for no breakfast but when handing key back we got the aroma of breakfast and kind of regret it now but always next time.
Second stay at this accommodation. A restful overnight stay after crossing on ferry (just five/ten minutes away by car).
Brilliant facilities in the room, excellent range and quality of breakfast options. Proprietors are friendly and very helpful.
The rooms (which are equipped like a five star hotel) are situated at the back and very quiet. Good parking and wifi available too.
There was a friendly welcome. The room was spacious and had sofa seats for watching TV. Bottled water was provided, so were chocolates, biscuits and a good range of hot drinks including a nice coffee machine. The proprietors were thoughtful & there was great attention to detail. The hotel is close to the Cairnryan ferry port.
Pat and Bill are very welcoming hosts. The bedroom was spotless. They had thought of everything. All the modern conveniences of a high class hotel in a charming Bed and Breakfast. Pat made us a taste packed breakfast to take on our early ferry the next morning. We would definitely stay here again.
The place was clean and nice, so comfortable and private. Almost as close are you can get to Stena line. Walkable distance. The hosts were very kind and made sure that I had everything I needed. And even gave me a ride to the ferry because it was pouring rain!
Lovely place, exceptionally easy for the ferry I needed to catch the next day. Maggie is a gem and made me feel right at home immediately! The room was lovely and much larger than I had anticipated. I only wish I could have stayed longer.
The hosts were fantastic and very friendly.Made our stay in this fantastic bed & breakfast even more enjoyable would highly recommend this property to any looking to stay in Cairnryan fantastic experience and will most certainly be back
Pat was very welcoming and friendly. The room was equipped with all the amenities expected of a good B&B. Access (to and from) was convenient i.e. without disturbing others. I would book Cairnryan B&B again.
We had a wonderful stay! The room was comfortable and had everything you needed! The breakfast was outstanding! Excellent location to catch the ferry in the morning to Ireland! We would stay again for sure!
Our hosts were wonderful. Breakfast was very good and the B&B is in a fantastic location for access to both ferry lines to Ireland. The room was warm and cozy and very quiet with great views over the sea.
hotel is located less than a few miles from the ferry terminal. Easy access to up and down Loch Ryan. Good parking. The rooms are very clean and tidy and the hotel staff are extremely friendly
best value hotel we have ever stayed in. friendly . breakfast was fabulous . the vegetarian full breakfast was the best I’ve ever had anywhere . room was excellent. very clean.
Absolutely ideal for travellers heading on the early ferries from Cairnryan. Great night's sleep, nice to relax after the journey with a well appointed kitchen and comfy sofa.
Easy access to Cairnryan port. Very friendly welcome, and cosy clean room and en-suite. What more could we ask for when traveling. Delicious Scottish cooked breakfast.
Lovely family room on the top floor. Two very large rooms with a bathroom in between. Perfect for a family and less than a 5 minute drive to the ferry.
