The location of the hotel is outstanding on the cliff top overlooking the harbour and the sea. The rooms are comfortable. On our last stay however the breakfast buffet service was disappointing, with a lack of hot food for around 30 minutes

Faded glory

We received a warm welcome from the person on reception. It was also very hot inside because all the radiators were on full blast in May. The hotel is impressive but showing signs of age with creaking floorboards and flaking paint. Breakfast was fine and the staff were nice. Parking is not free for guests but plenty of free spaces in town.

Friendly staff made our holiday

The young staff, most of them from the Stranraer area, could not have been friendlier, or prouder of their home town and surrounding area. At times there were signs that there were insufficient staff on duty, which caused delays at mealtimes and in the bar. The staff continued to do their very best; any resulting problems were due to this apparent lack of resources.

Excellent stay

We had a super stay at this hotel. We checked in with a lovely receptionist Sophie,who was was warm and friendly. Our room was super with a lovely four poster bed and superb view. I had phoned ahead a few days prior as it was a special occasion and we appreciated the room that was given to us . I am sure the receptionist had made sure we received the lovely room. We had dinner also in the hotel dining room and every member of staff we encountered were friendly and welcoming, dinner was also lovely. A very relaxing and super stay at this lovely hotel.

Unfortunately we had no hot water in the shower. The TV was not working properly and the windows were jammed shut. A member of staff pleasantly tried to sort the hot water issue but we only achieved a warm temperature. Maybe we got off to a bad start seeing all the signs instructing us to pay for car parking on arrival. This is not welcoming.
