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.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Staff friendly and helpful tho woefully undermanned, every staff member seemed to have 2 or 3 jobs.they were excellent despite the pressure. Booked unto a"superior" double room ,it certainly was not. The room we were moved to was lovley a great improvement. One thing that stuck in my throat the new parking policy: to pay almost£150 a night and then to b charged to park at the hotel is quite frankly digusting, especially as it is subject to dynamic pricing. I would b reluctant to stay here again solely because of this issue

Seaside hotel

Lovely setting on the water. Must pay for parking; our room is basic and could use bedside electric outlets. The toilet seat is broken and slides around. The place could use a bit of updating.

Fabulous location, good food, nice staff. Bedroom door had terrible squeak, saw the handyman and he said he would fix it, but didn’t! In the morning took a long time to check out as the computer would not upload, it was 9.30! Parking £6.50 a night, not stated on the booking🙄

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.

Great place for taking your dog lots of walks nearby. Even a separate dinning room that you can take your pet into when at breakfast. Great views over the harbour.The only downside would be the evening dinner menu could be a bit more exciting and maybe a specials choice so as not the same menu each night.

Room for improvement!

Despite requesting room to be cleaned, no one did this. Receptionist ended up doing it! Hot water in room not that warm. Breakfast very tasty but evening meals poor. Slow service and food very ordinary and small portions. No hotel manager and appeared to be run by inexperienced young staff. Position of hotel excellent.Room was a superior double but appeared to be standard in overall appearance and facilities.

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.
