Have to pay to park.
Really annoyed that you have to pay for parking in the hotels own car park. The staff are good but there are not enough of them.

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.

Nice location
The hotel was ok nice location , nice views we only stayed 1 night but probably would not go back , im personally not a fan of dog friendly hotels and there was quite a lot of dogs staying , i love dogs but when im on vacation i really dont want to stay in a room that a dog has been in i dont think its very hygienic

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.

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

Fantastic Hotel
It is a lovely hotel. The staff were brilliant. Nothing was a problem. Very Clean. It is suitable for all walks of lives. Only one thing i would say is that it could do with a lick of paint to freshen it up.

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.

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.
