Stranraer is a ferry port with good bus links to Dumfries.
Stranraer is a ferry port with good bus links to Dumfries. The tow, itself had a "sedate ' feel to it. Traffic was slow and polite. Lots of fish and chips shops. The central castle / tower house is the only place of interest and museum. Famous centre for curling with rink open in winter months.

Absolutely highly recommend this beautiful stylish hotel, very clean, great food with a warm welcome
Excellent location on the sea front and lots of parking spaces. Beautiful reception area and staff were very welcoming and helpful. Room was very spacious with a small table and two chairs, large comfy bed and good facilities. Evening meal was lovely, very tasty and well presented with good choices; as was breakfast the next morning, absolutely perfect. The dining room is beautiful and set out nicely. The bars were both superb to have a drink and relax. Absolutely highly recommend this charming hotel, simply one of the best we have stayed in! We will definitely return!

Stranraer is wet and windy and very rundown.
Stranraer is wet and windy and very rundown. There is not a restaurant open past 9 o’clock. Very few takeaways and a Tesco’s and a Morrisons. There is nothing to do past 1730. Once the shops are closed our hotel we arrived at 2045 And the restaurant had already closed, there was no room service we had to go out in the pouring rain and wind to get a takeaway as they would not allow takeaway delivered to the hotel or to be eaten in hotel bar area which only one was open. We had to eat it in a room and it was cold by the time you got back so complete waste of money. This hotel is rundown and has been the same for the last 20 years. Last time we visited it. Stranraer was bustling, then as the port was in town. But no, there is only cairn Ryan you can leave from and it is 6 miles out of the village. All it’s good for is getting the ferry to Belfast.

Firstly, ships no longer berth in Stranraer as your photo depicts.Nothing wrong with Stranraer or the people who are very friendly, but industry and employment is desperately needed together with an improvement of the road network, in particular the 100 mile long A75. All thanks to the Scottish government who are spending the money on the capital City.

We were quite sad at how downtrodden Stranraer looked since we were there in 2019. It seems very little shops survived the pandemic and there is now very little to do. The buildings could do with a clean or a repaint. This once bustling town is a bit sorry for itself.
Perfect place to stay for visiting Stranraer & for catching ferries from the nearby Cairnryan. Lots of parking just across the road. Decent, clean room.
Hosts Alan & Elaine were both very friendly & accommodating; I had to leave at an ungodly hour to catch an early morning ferry and they made sure a good continental breakfast was still offered. The little bottle of whiskey was a lovely touch too :)
Beautiful location very near the Loch so peaceful. Pool was out of order when we were there soft play was nice. Caravan itself well equipped we were fortunate to have a really sunny warm relaxing breakfast on the veranda. Good size boiler very nice hot shower with plenty of pressure. And of course a corkscrew.
Luxurious rooms and a hearty home-cooked breakfast. Beautiful décor and comfy beds. Decanter of whiskey in you room! Views overlooking the bay and the park. Stranraer is a lovely town, with high street, good restaurants, free museum, and free castle to explore. Parking is free and abundant.
Stranraer feels unloved, arriving at the outside of the hotel my husband pulled out his phone to see if we could find another hotel near by however ignore the appearance outside and go in you wont be disappointed. Family room was spacious (2 adults, 1 child) as was ensuite bathroom.
Brilliant location if you have a car. Stranraer is a couple of miles away for food shopping, and south is some fabulous little towns like Portpatrick. The scenery was amazing, and the cottage is very near the Southern Uplands Way walking route.
Good position near town, lovely breakfast and comfy bar area and helpful bar, breakfast and reception staff.
It was an interesting place to stay architecturally and historically. I liked the fact I could buy paintings and cards there.
Great location for the ferry, excellent breakfast,host Jacqui was very friendly and accommodating. Room and dining room very clean and all covid protocols adhered to.
Hope to visit again in near future.
Wilma was really welcoming and helped with parking right by the door. My room was at the back of the building, quiet and private. The hotel location was easy to find and close to main routes for ferry.
This is a very friendly hotel with excellent rooms and facilities. Great choice for breakfast and good value for money. Our room had a view over the sea. would definitely stay again.
Nicely decorated room with a good bathroom. Most seemed clean. Good location with food options nearby and close to Cairnryan ferry. Can self-check out really early which was useful.
The lovely welcome from Sandy. He made us very welcome. We went to the cenotaph to pay our respects and the pipes and drums where lovely. Stranraer is a lovely place.
very clean and well equipped. Host Annemarie was easy to contact. Very quiet and fairly near amenities. Would not normally look at mobile home but is a good option.
