We booked a self-catering apartment for 7 days & we had the most wonderful time visiting places from our hub in Stranraer. The apartment was so well set up with everything you could possibly need - having a half fridge & small freezer was brilliant and the local supermarket was within walking distance. There was also a petrol station close by. Nothing was too much trouble. There is a huge free open carpark across the street, there were 2 ferry ports for our day trips, there is an elevator, great free wifi and excellent security. All of the apartments are wheelchair accessible too. We were warmly welcomed by the owner Colin and Margaret, her husband and her colleagues looked after us if there was anything we needed or wanted to know. Excellent value and definitely a place we would book again if we ever come back to Scotland. We have no problem recommending this as a fabulous place to stay and, in our 6 weeks driving around Scotland, we can honestly say it was the best.

Little Ireland is a gem of a property, a great find for us and our 2 dogs who were also right at home here. The house is beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean (we would easily have believed we were the first people to have stayed due to the high standard of maintenance). The lovely hosts really have thought of everything, providing all we needed for a fabulous stay. They were also so helpful and when we messaged with a query they replied with an answer straight away. There was so much space for us all and we had a fabulous time (also really enjoyed a lovely meal in Papa Rab's!) Thank you for a great stay, we wouldn't hesitate to book again!

Stranraer is an interesting place to visit. Parts of it have got very run down but you can see they are trying to improve the town. We spent a lovey day following the Town Centre trail we got from the Tourist Office.

There's almost zero reason to visit Stranraer itself; no ferries run from here now. I found one decent shop of interest, the little museam was ok and free. The proximity to the mull of galloway and the rhins was my reason for staying. The accomodation choice was not great, but Royal Hotel was the best option

Stranraer is a little rundown after its fortunes were affected by the relocation of the ferry along the road to Cairnryan. Much of the harbour is run down with tatty parking bays for ferry vehicles. However there are hidden gems, the swan lido and park by the water, an ACTUAL tourist information office, helpful public library. Decent if rather retro restaurants - Chinese, pizza oven. Museum and castle to visit although check opening hours.

Dog-friendly Location - near to ferry; we have stayed here often Watching the curling Proximity to a small park to walk the dog. For the first time, for our most recent stay, we were accommodated in a cottage at the rear - much easier to park close by for carrying baggage and to walk out with the dog. Would choose to do so again

The property is stunning! The interior was gorgeous and decorated in autumnal decor on our arrival. The beds were super comfy! The location of the property was excellent and the view of Loch Ryan was beautiful. The house is very near the town centre. A big bonus was there was space for 2 cars in the driveway.
