We were catching a morning ferry to northern ireland so only needed to stay one night, the fact this was an option was brilliant and perfect for us. The caravan was lovely and cosy and the view is amazing. Little disappointed we weren't staying longer. Is also a short drive away from the port

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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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!
Pat was extremely welcoming , friendly. and we felt very much at ease. The room was immaculate and very comfortable. Pat provides some extra touches that make a stay in Cairnryan B&B special.
Lovely hotel in a great location for the ferry. Really friendly and helpful staff. Room was clean and comfortable and had everything I needed and more - even a couple of chocolates!
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.
