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.ChrisCanada - 10Scored 10

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.MarionUnited Kingdom - 10Scored 10

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 picture is taken from Cairnryan Bed and Breakfast.

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.ColinUnited Kingdom

- 9.8Scored 9.8ExceptionalRated exceptional· 530 reviewsVery nice and clean lodging with a beautiful view. Pat and Bill are excellent hosts and they are very helpful and accommodating. From the original booking 5 months ago, keeping in touch in the months leading up to our trip, picking us up at the ferry and dropping us off to catch our bus the next morning, they made sure that we were looked after. And we can’t forget about the delicious Scottish breakfast in the morning! We would definitely recommend the Cairnryan B & B. 🇨🇦🏴
KarenCanada - From US$161.14 per night9.4Scored 9.4SuperbRated superb· 561 reviewsWe 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.
MaggieUnited Kingdom - From US$161.14 per night9.4Scored 9.4SuperbRated superb· 561 reviewsThe 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.
