Rhins of Galloway

An absolutely fabulous experience from start to finish. An unexpectedly great find. More like a boutique hotel than guest house. Room was larger than expected and very well appointed. Facilities were excellent, breakfast was fantastic. Can’t recommend highly enough.

Immaculately clean rooms. Rooms are large like a small suite. Fantastic service by the owners. Nice views across the loch. Good quality breakfast with lots of choice. Five minutes from both ferry terminals. Would be a good base to explore the local area. Highly recommended.

Just stayed overnight at this superb hotel. Can’t fault the cleanliness and hospitality. The breakfast are really special and served with a smile. If travelling from Caernryan port , this hotel is a perfect start to your holiday in Ireland

Over a few years I have used Rhin's before taking the ferry, as always, the welcome is friendly and sincere. The bedrooms are on par with 4- or 5-star hotels, comfortable but with individuality. As I travel frequently, I am looking for these gems, a place that feels like home.

Outstanding!! From the best friendliest check in to an amazing room. Loved the little touches in the room and everything has been thought of including bottle opener and wine glasses!! A 10/10

A 4 star hotel with 5 star service. We had booked ahead to get a good jump on the nearby ferry back home to Ireland the next day. After a very disappointing experience in Edinburgh the night before, we had our faith in Scottish hospitality well and truly redeemed. What a special place the Rhins is. It may have looked functional and plain on the outside but what a gem we found on the inside. Met by our hosts at reception, we were treated with the greatest of courtesy and genuine interest. Immediately we were upgraded to their very best suite which we gladly accepted. WOW!! Outstanding in taste, quality and comfort. Decor, facilities, everything we could have wished for. They also gave us a great recommendation for eating out that evening. Btw big shout out to Henry's Bay House Restaurant just a few minutes drive towards Stranraer (top food and service to match our accommodation) Had the best sleep of our trip that night and a breakfast fit for a king (and queen) the next morning to send us on our way. Stunning, convenient and very repeatable. Top marks Rhins of Galloway.

Very impressed with the attention to detail. Offered a flask of milk at reception on arrival. Would definitely recommend for stopover for early Ferry crossing.

Stayed in the absolutely beautiful Gloucester Suite and one of our 2 top favourite accomodations of our entire 6.5 weeks holiday around UK and Ireland. Other accommodation providers could certainly learn a lot about what travellers want and need from these 2 friendly hosts. Unfortunately we only had 1 night here as we had to catch the early morning ferry to Belfast. Would love to come back and stay longer.

Rhins of Galloway is a fantastic place and so convenient for the ferry port. We stayed for 2 nights, Friday and Tuesday either side of a trip to Ireland. The owners are very welcoming, friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble for them. Suite 1 is a large bedroom, good sized lounge and a well appointed shower room. It was so comfortable. The whole place is spotless. I've stayed in some quite high end places in my time and none were cleaner than Rhins. The linen is very good quality, the towels are thick and fluffy, they even put out a little pair of scissors to make it easier to open the tea /coffee bags. They supply you with a flask of milk on arrival so you don't have to put up with those awful pots of UHT. Our breakfast was absolutely delicious. Good quality produce is everything and it was cooked to perfection. There's good menu choices plus all the other things you would expect like cereal, toast, fruit, yoghurt, juices. The price of the stay is very competitive and for what you get they could easily charge more. I really don't think I can say enough about Rhins. I have no hesitation in recommending it.
