“This historic three-star in Stranraer retains a classic charm; I appreciate its commitment to traditional Scottish hospitality and modern British cuisine prepared with local ingredients. The indoor curling rink is quite a unique feature, while the leisure facilities add to its appeal; it's a family-friendly destination near the ferry terminal for convenient access to Ireland.”

The room was large! The beds were very comfy and I slept really well. The breakfast offered a tasty cooked meal.
The room felt a little too warm overnight, I must say.
