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,...
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!
The owner was absolutely lovely and accommodated our early check-in as we had just driven two hours with two small children. There was a Park with a Cafe just across the street from the hotel, which was perfect when you have little ones that want to stretch their legs or go for a walk by the seaside. Very walkable to local restaurants or the grocery store. We would definitely stay here again or recommend it to anyone visiting the area. It was about a 15 minute drive to the ports as we were taking a ferry the next day so it was very convenient.
Large room with good facilities and a beautiful view. Chairs and table by the window to look out from. Our room was cleaned and replenished during the day.
Our host was very accommodating and happy to make an early breakfast which was very tasty.
We visited the area to go to the Wee Aird Dairy Farm which was amazing.
There are some other wonderful places to visit near Stranraer - Logan Botanical Garden, Mull of Galloway and Castle Kennedy Gardens. We had glorious weather too!
The property was very nice, lean, and cozy. The location is very good if you come by car, otherwise is far to reach it from the bus routes.
However, we loved it. Very nice views around, quiet and relaxing place.
Good starting point if you want to explore the area around. There are beaches, botanical gardens, castles, and children's playgrounds nearby.
We loved it and will be back someday.
Thank you.
The room and ensuite were spotlessly clean. We had a coffee table and two comfortable chairs that overlooked the harbour. Both hosts were so welcoming with a tot of whisky on hand to welcome us. The breakfast was amazing, and varied providing us with a hearty meal. Location was fabulous for catching the ferry to Belfast. Near restaurants and pubs.
We had a lovely view of the yard from this small, but comfortable upstairs room. It was nice being on a farm and the location was perfect for an early trip to the ferry. We had a quiet and peaceful nights sleep. Parking was free and near the entrance.
Spacious comfy stop.
Nice outdoor space with a little view of the loch/inlet.
Very extensive dvd collection for movie nights.
Not too far from Stranraer, your best chance at groceries and restaurants (8-10 minute drive)
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.
Nicely decorated room with a good bathroom. Most seemed clean. Good location with food options nearby and close to Cairnryan ferry. Can self-check out really early which was useful.
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.
Well located for very nearby town centre. Just around the corner.
Room very comfortable. Lovely breakfast.
Overall decor excellent.
