There are nice scenic spots to visit near / around Stranraer, such as Castle Kennedy gardens,
Port Logan, Logan House estate whose owner donated part of their gardens to become today’s Stranraer Logan Botanic Garden. You can also visit
Castle St John in the town centre, as well as the museum. You can even come to join us for African drumming fun every fortnightly Thursday ! I myself travel 3.5 hours every fortnight on Thursday to practise African drum with this group whose drumming standard is very very high ! Always great fun ! That’s why I am willing to travel 7 hours door to door for my drumming fun every two weeks !
And, although I bring my own home-cooked food here, I also eat at some nice bistros and cafes.

A small, interesting working town on the west bank of Loch Ryan, visited right at the beginning of the season. Henry's Bay House Restaurant is excellent for food and the Ryan Centre has a swimming pool as well as a theatre/cinema with a good programme. There is a great view of the loch and Stranraer is ideally situated for exploring all of Dumfries and Galloway. The people are very friendly, helpful and welcoming.

The people.
The people. Roy came out of his store and greeted us and then walked us to two great places to eat. At the Caslte Hotel we were treated like royality. It was before supper time so they made fixed up our table and served us in style. The food and service was wonderful. David was our taxi driver for all our stay and was also a wonderful guide to the area.

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!
We liked everything. The accommodation was immaculate. The attention to detail and the thought that had gone into providing what guests would enjoy to have in their room (including biscuits & water every day, wine glasses & bottle opener, a fridge and bathrobes etc), was terrific. We have stayed in many hotels that have not come up anywhere near to the standards of Thornbank House.
Brendan and Nicola made us very welcome.
We were given the Loch Ryan view room, which was vacant for two of our nights stay. This really made our stay special,as the room has lovely views.
The breakfasts were tasty, I recommend trying the Mexican Eggs.
The area around the Galloway Peninsula was stunning. So quiet, near empty beaches, free carparks.
Certainly a place to return too.
The room was large and airy with a gorgeous view of the hills and sea loch. The staff were helpful, cheerful and efficient. The hotel served evening meals with excellent variety and good food, with no notice or pre booking. Breakfast was good too.All round good value.
The bed was very comfortable.
I’m a hotel snob so have tended to avoid guest houses. Wow, this place has changed my mind. Lovely owners who simply can’t do enough for you. Brilliant balance between period features and modern clean facilities. Lovely breakfast. Altogether a fantastic stay and wouldn’t hesitate to go back.
The guesthouse was very much what we had been looking for for an overnight, passing through stay. Convenient location, welcoming and efficient hosts, good parking nearby. Breakfast was fine and the whole visit experience very positive. Thank you
Breakfast was always good, and so were the evening meats, Staff were all very helpful no matter what time of day or night. Rooms were clean. There was a supermarket very near for any extras you might need.
Beautiful place with stunning views and scenery. Perfect for a quiet getaway with great walks and plenty of lovely places to visit nearby. My wife and I and our dog thoroughly enjoyed our time away here.
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.
Everything was 1st class caravan spotlessly clean and everything you could ask for a nice couple of days will use again in the near future thanks for a very enjoyable stay
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.
