"We had a lovely stay at the Castle - the room was beautiful as was the food. The staff in the restaurant and those who welcomed us were amazing. Only disappointment was on check out we asked the history of the castle and were told by a very disinterested staff member to "look it up online"! We thought they would have been very proud to talk about the history and when it was built etc. Other than that we loved it!"

Recent Reviews in Stranraer

The Portpatrick Hotel by Compass Hospitality

8/10 Good

"Lovely , nice staff, small town , dining options very limited. TV was tiny, water pressure was terrible, but its a very old building that probably didnt have running water when it was built so its all been retro fitted. Absolutely beautiful view."

Fernhill Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The Hotel was spotless, large rooms, friendly staff and views which were out of this world. Good Breakfast and all in all was a really relaxing stay."

The Thistle

8/10 Good

"The Inn was suitable for a stopover to the car ferry to Belfast. Close to shops and restaurants. The host was very helpful and friendly."

2 Bedroom Lodge, Beach Location, Fabulous Views

10/10 Excellent

"Overall Great stay host was lovely, the lodging was very nice and clean. location was stunning you couldn’t get better views of the sea and surrounding coastline! Was an incredible stay and will definitely be making a return in the future!"

The Waterfront Hotel & Bistro

8/10 Good

"Friendly staff, room was clean and adequate, no problem in getting extra beverages, breakfast very good, bed comfortable , bathroom and little small, cabinet above small sink to low when trying to wash or shave , but got on with it and did not spoil our stay, very good shower, lovely view from window overlooking harbour, enjoyed our stay over 3 nights would go back 😀"

The Harbour House Hotel

8/10 Good

"It is right next to the water and has a nice position and view of the rest of the small town (village). We would stay again if we had to, as we couldn't find a place to stay in the actual town of Stranraer the Inn is located in Portpatrick). It was adequate for the price. We ate somewhere else, but the restaurant seemed busy. It was also pretty quiet for a pub/restaurant in the summer, which we appreciated."

Lakeview Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"The host was friendly and attentive and the breakfast was marvelous! The rooms we had were clean and spacious. Will definitely stay there again!"

3 Bedroom Lodge, Close to Beach, Stunning Views, includes hot tub

8/10 Good

"We enjoyed our stay at the lodge. It was clean, quiet and comfortable, with great views. It's conveniently placed to be able to explore sites and attractions in the area. Only suggestions would be to look at the flooring which seemed to be giving way in some places. Also, we didn't use the hot tub as the welcome booklet said it needed to be cleaned after use but it wasn't clear how to clean it. Otherwise, all good."

Spacious House With Amazing Sea View

10/10 Excellent

"If you want to be away from it all, this is the place. There are more cows and linnets than humans for miles and the views of the bay at any time of day are just stunning. We loved being able to see the deer, hares and birds of prey in the adjoining fields - with the added bonus of spotting the odd seal or three relaxing in the tranquil waters of the bay or lazing on the rocks on an evening. We also lost (so!) many hours being entranced by the families of House Martins whizzing past the windows like aerial acrobats feeding their (incredibly cute) young under the eves. The house is really well equipped, the beds are comfy and the showers certainly do not lack any power! But the views of the bay from the main lounge are just fantastic and the main selling point. Elspeth was a great host and very helpful/responsive to all our queries. All in all, it was a wonderful week. 100% recommend."
