A short overnight stay on our way to Cairnryan ferry. We arrived quite late but the kitchen was still available for dinner and staff were very friendly and accommodating. Room was impeccable. We had to leave early for our crossing but the short stay was great. We want to come back.

Beautiful location and lovely room in hotel. Very friendly staff. Very modern and clean. Lovely little bar but draught beer a bit stale. Dinner starter extremely small but tasty and main courses -one was excellent and the other poor. No one checked on how we liked the food and we had to mention to server as they just took the plates away. Server said she would let the chef know. Chef came out to speak to us but was very aggressive and defensive about the food. Discussion didnt go well and it spoilt our stay as breakfast was a bit awkward the next day. Breakfast delicious but tiny portion and advertised as a full scottish breakfast. We sent a review back direct to the hotel as they requested and heard nothing back as yet.

Lovely stat

Such a lovely hotel- with excellent authentic friendliness that is so often lost in big hotels. The room was immaculate and impeccably clean- would have no hesitation recommending. The food was also excellent as well as the wine!

Set in a small village on a quiet road by the river. Room was bright, clean, comfortable. Good coffee machine, fresh milk. Good size room and bathroom with nice toiletries. Really good freshly cooked high quality food in the restaurant. Run by a lovely enthusiastic couple. Highlight of our tour
