"Called for a drink and were given the warmest of welcomes. Quaint little bar area and great menu. Food looked fab but we were booked at our accommodation. Next time at Port Patrick we will definitely visit the Crown Hotel. Definitely worth a visit."

Quay Head View Aparthotel

Quay Head View Aparthotel

📍 Market Street Quay Head View, Stranraer
★★★★ 9.4 (25 reviews)

"We booked a self-catering apartment for 7 days and we have 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. 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."

The Portpatrick Hotel by Compass Hospitality ★★★
"The Portpatrick Hotel is a stunning building, inside and out. Obviously, this is shown by the slightly dated decor, but I would imagine it is a listed building, and their hands will be tied regarding what modifications they could make to it. For me, it adds to the charm of the place. The rooms are clean and have exactly what you need for a comfortable stay. If I had one complaint, it would be the shower; it was poor and rarely had hot water. Again, I understand this could be due to the volume of people in an old building. This did not affect my stay. The staff were friendly and helpful, the bar and games room were great, and breakfast was great value served in a stunning dining room. Will definitely be returning one day, thanks for a great stay! Phil."

Corsewall Lighthouse Hotel ★★★
"A totally unique experience in an actual working lighthouse. The setting is remote and totally relaxing with amazing views. The accommodation in the nearby annexe is spacious and well equipped whilst the fixed price dinner menu is excellent, fine dining and very competitively priced. The family who own the lighthouse were great hosts and this is a place worth making the effort to travel to."

North West Castle Hotel ★★★
"Stayed at the hotel for its close proximity to the Cairnryan Port due to an early ferry departure the following morning. We had a comfortable room fit for our needs, with ample space for the family. There is a car park onsite. We arrived late and left early, so weren't able to use the facilities, but the areas we did see were well presented. They were kindly able to arrange a takeaway breakfast for us, as we were leaving before breakfast was served."

The Harbour House Sea Front Hotel ★★★
"Perfect stay for the ferry but a lovely town and worth more than one night Really friendly staff who are genuinely pet friendly There was entertainment on when I stayed but due to an early ferry I’d missed it but the band members were nice too I’ll stay again and recommend Only had a pudding which was nice and the main dishes looked better than what I’d had elsewhere Over heard an awkward customer and the kitchen even catered for her Thanks for a great stay"

Knockinaam Lodge ★★★★
"We only booked the day before arriving due to change of plans and were so pleased they had availability. Everything was fabulous - location, our room, the food and the very friendly and professional staff. One thing I must highlight is the way the chef accommodated the long list of food allergies I have with very little notice. On both nights, I was served my version of two or three courses of the Tasting Menu. Very impressive and totally delicious. 🤩"

Crown Hotel ★★★
"Had a meal last night, I had the braised steak and mushroom in a large Yorkshire pudding which is absolutely loaded with steak and mushroom and vegetables in a lovely gravy accompanied by chips which was gorgeous, the steak was fantastic, my wife had the cod in breadcrumbs with salad and chips and said it was the best cod she had had in years. Pleasant staff added to a lovely evening. Would highly recommend."

Quay Head View Aparthotel ★★★★
"To say that everything was provided that we required is an understatement. There were so many EXTRA unexpected items in the large apartment too. An air fryer a small stand alone freezer, Alexa speaker a washer/dryer machine. We were amazed at the high spec. Eleven of us went for just two nights using 5 of the apartments but if you stayed considerably longer these well equipped apartments would be perfect. I really recommend this place. "
