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.
With picturesque views across Loch Ryan, this hotel is located in south-west Scotland, close to the ferry ports to Ireland. It has 2 spacious bars, free parking and free Wi-Fi.

I had a lovely stay at North West Castle! The location is perfect. The staff is so incredibly friendly and welcoming! The food was delicious! The room was comfortable and had everything I needed! I did not use the pool/gm facilities, but I walked through and it was very nice!

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.
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.
This is an excellent guesthouse. I couldn’t fault it in any way. The owner, Pat, could not have been more helpful with organising a booking for dinner and directing me how to get there. I believe this is presently the only B&B in Cairnryan, which is the closest village to where Stena operates its ferries to Belfast. The Stena terminal is less than 5 minutes away (which was relevant to me because I was travelling to Belfast).
The Rhins of Galloway is an exceptional place to stay. Rooms are decorated to a very high standard, many including extra features like tv in the bathroom, lights controlled via handsets and large TVs. The breakfast does not disappoint with lots of choice and all beautifully prepared. I have stayed in five star hotels that have not lived up to the standards set by Rhins of Galloway.
Outstanding place. Everything catered for. Facilities commensurate with 5 star hotel. Loved the add touch of TV in the bathrooms. Breakfast amazing, great choice and quality of items superb. Beds luxurious and comfortable. Owners lovely they go beyond to welcome you and cater for your needs. We loved the place ❤
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
Paul and John are wonderful and helpful hosts. They serve one of the best breakfasts we have experienced in Scotland so far. They are conveniently located on the waterfront in short range of many Dumfries and Galloway sights.
Owner rang local pub for us to see if open.
Close to Cairnryan - Larne ferry.
Very clean room, very friendly owner, good breakfast that kept us going until we reached our destination.
The quality and comfort of the rooms was on par with a 4* hotel. The home cooked breakfast a very welcome surprise. Pat is a lovely host who genuinely enjoys welcoming guests.
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.
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.
