Easy parking and Elaine was such a kind and gracious host. The property was snug and very charming. Everything was impeccably clean and nice. We were leaving too early for the standard breakfast time so she went out of her way to put things out for us. It was just like home! Rodney’s garden was also beautiful outside the window!

We are a family of 4 traveling through 4 countries for 2 weeks. This was our favorite! Upon checkin, Alan met us and showed us to our room. He was so friendly and welcoming. We had the family suite. It was so beautiful and comfortable! Each kid had their own twin bed, and they loved it! Windows opened to hear the seagulls and cars below, and let in the cool sea breeze. There was plenty of space to move around. The bathroom was very clean and perfect for us. We ordered the full breakfast the next morning - what a delight! Elaina was very nice and made sure we pronounced “Edinburgh” correctly before leaving, haha! This place is walkable to everything in town you’d want to see. We hope to visit again one day.

Property was easy to find in Stranraer. We arrived very late due to traffic and the staff were very accommodating of this and left us the key and instructions to sort ourselves out on arrival. Also next morning we had to leave before breakfast to get a ferry and again we were able to sort ourselves out with cereals for breakfast before departure. Would highly recommend if visiting Stranraer.

We are a family of 4 traveling through 4 countries for 2 weeks. This was our favorite! Upon checkin, Alan met us and showed us to our room. He was so friendly and welcoming. We had the family suite. It was so beautiful and comfortable! Each kid had their own twin bed, and they loved it! Windows opened to hear the seagulls and cars below, and let in the cool sea breeze. There was plenty of space to move around. The bathroom was very clean and perfect for us. We ordered the full breakfast the next morning - what a delight! Elaina was very nice and made sure we pronounced “Edinburgh” correctly before leaving, haha! This place is walkable to everything in town you’d want to see. We hope to visit again one day.

Very helpful and pleasant owners who went over and above to help with securing elusive taxis to the ferry terminal. The room was clean and comfortable and the shower was great. Parking very convenient and free. I would highly recommend this b&b.
