    tired building

    Clean room, hot shower. Comfy bed.

    Building appears tired and needs attention. Tiny parking spaces and a loose lamp wire made for a bit of hassle during the stay.

    dirty curtains
    thin walls

    absolutely disapointing, I expected a warm welcome. Instead, I found dirty curtains and walls so thin that I shared a 'lovely' conversation through my wall. The staff must be overwhelmed, considering they don't even offer upgrades to embarrassed returning guests. I almost gave a good review, just couldn’t! This was a total letdown, really.

    Quiet stay in Stranraer 🌅

    Loved the quiet vibe here. The private entry from the parking made us feel at home. The shower was lekker hot, which was perfect after a long day. Our host was super helpful, made sure we were sorted with anything we needed!

    clean rooms
    thin walls
    confusing check-in

    Good value and very clean rooms.

    The walls in my room were quite thin, making it hard to get a good night’s sleep due to noise from the adjacent room. I also found the check-in process a bit confusing, especially since I arrived late at night and had to look around the back to find an entrance. the hot water in the shower was inconsistent at times after a long day of travel.

    comfortable bed
    convenient parking
    quiet room
    heavy duvet
    tired building

    The stay was just what we needed before catching an early ferry. The bed in our double room was super comfortable, making it easy to get a good night's sleep. Plus, the parking was conveniently located right outside, which simplified our arrival. the room had a heavy duvet for the season, making it a bit too warm. it was a satisfactory stopover close to the ferry terminal.

    secured parking

    comfortable, comfortable, comfortable

    The bed in my room was incredibly comfortable, making for a restful night's sleep before an early ferry. I loved the convenience of having parking right outside my chalet, which made unloading my luggage a breeze. Plus, the tea and coffee facilities were a delightful touch, allowing me to enjoy a warm drink right in my room after a long day of travel.

    strongly recommend 😊❤️

    Perfect Overnight Stop Before the Ferry

    I had a lovely stay—Sandy welcomed me warmly and ensured that I felt completely at home. The room was cozy and clean, providing a perfect setting for a good night’s sleep. Convenient parking right outside and just a short walk to town for dinner made it an ideal location.

    excellent housekeeping
    beachy decor
    smooth check-in
    thin walls

    Housekeeping was excellent and very helpful, and beachy decor added a nice touch to the room. Communicating with staff was easy, enabling a smooth check-in process. The location was perfect for hopping on the ferry.

    The thin walls made for some noise disturbances from adjacent rooms.
