"On getting to our room we found someone was already in there, so had to take some extra time returning to Reception only to find our room had been accidentally given away. This was fairly easily amended, with us being given a different room instead but without a balcony. We could’ve done without spending the time sorting this out especially lugging our bags and children around in the process. However, the staff were very courteous, with one lady especially being extremely helpful and making our children feel very welcome. The leisure facilities were excellent, and the breakfast fantastic."

"It's a grand old (or middle-aged) hotel on a stunning hillside location overlooking the harbour. It has clearly seen better days, and seems to be struggling somewhat. This does not stop me from staying there, as I want to support them, and it's a good location for the ferry at Cairnryan. It's clean, has a lift/elevator and rooms with harbour views. Because it's a big old building, we had to wait quite a while for hot water to reach our rooms for showers. Staff are exceptionally friendly. From the receptionist who checked us in after our ferry arrived late, to the dining room waitress at breakfast - which was cooked to order and delicious."

"The room was beautifully clean and freshly decorated. The staff were very welcoming and accommodating and really kind to my dogs. Thank you!"

"We arrived slightly earlier but Derek had left the house key in door for us to let ourselves in. He called later to check everything was OK and showed us how to open the hottub lid . It was all ready to jump in and very warm. Cottage was modern and everything needed was provided, towels, bathrobes for hottub, cutlery and plates etc. Excellent front garden for playing football with our son. Overall couldn't fault it and had a relaxing stay."

"Very lovely room, very clean, hotel was easy to find and easy to navigate, ensuite bathroom was very clean "

"lovely stay the owner goes beyond to ensure a homely vacation all bedrooms are presented beautifully and beds ensure a goodnight sleep"

"Room was clean but very dated with wood chip wallpaper that had seen better days. Service was good in general"

"It was clean and the staff offered to help with any bags or see us to our room. We stayed one night on our way through town. This is an old building. It was exactly what we expected and needed. If you want a new hotel this is not it. You will be disappointed. However, it is quiet, worn but clean, cozy, and very convenient at a very reasonable price."

"A wonderful peaceful retreat, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Besides for the weather everything was amazing. Very quiet, the sea view from the garden and an all round lovely quaint house and garden.Thanks"
