Corsewall Lighthouse Hotel

Corsewall Lighthouse Hotel

📍 Corsewall Lighthouse Hotel, Stranraer
★★★ 9.1 (46 reviews)

"We were staying in a cottage nearby and decided to visit the lighthouse for a three course evening meal. We booked ahead after reading other reviews and the dining room became full as the evening went by. The meal itself was five courses, with three choices, two set, all for a very reasonable price (£55 when we visited). There was a wide selection of wines available on the wine menu and something for every palette. The food itself was delicious, prepared thoughtfully and up there with what we're used to having in restaurant/fine dining settings.The atmosphere was cosy, relaxing and a warm welcome from the staff. We visited on a particularly hot day, and the restaurant area itself became quite warm. It's on aspect that would have made our dinner experience better was if the indoor temperature was cooler, but who are we to complain about having sunshine!"

Knockinaam Lodge

Knockinaam Lodge

📍 Portpatrick, Stranraer
★★★★ 9.5 (43 reviews)

"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. 🤩"

Quay Head View Aparthotel

Quay Head View Aparthotel

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

"The apartments are spotlessly clean. The space is huge, the kitchen is well equipped and has everything that anyone would need. There is ample free parking just across the road and I could see my car from the window. The instructions sent from the owner were very clear and he is very helpful and accommodating. I stayed for a very short time due to work but I wouldn’t hesitate to stay again."

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."

Knockinaam Lodge ★★★★
"Cannot comment on the food as felt so unwelcome after being offered halfheartedly a tuna sandwich. My wife and I along with our black Labrador were walking the coastal path and came across the hotel, restaurant and bar sign which was a very welcome opportunity for us to stop for food and drink. Unfortunately this sign is most misleading as they clearly do not want or cater for coastal walkers as reception and office staff were so unhelpful and rather rude. Such a shame as very much a place we would have consider dinning at during our stay in this beautiful region. Ironically empty lunchtime restaurant so not rushed off their feet. Suggest removing the hotel sign on the coastal path a replace with private and keep out!"

Crown Hotel ★★★
"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 ★★★★
"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. "

The Thistle Inn ★★★
"Stayed here for one night, and im glad it was only 1 night, i contacted the owner as we werent sure how to book in etc, politely told the door is open, the key is on the windowsill, when we did get there, on opening the door finding the key , there was an odd smell, very basic, it was cold, and remained cold even though the radiator was on wasnt bursting out with heat, there was no spare blankets either so i was cold most of the night, on the wednesday morning i was tired, cold glad to get back in the car, still no sight of anyone, i was a nurse ( rehab, id find patients a bed for the night when on community) for 44yrs and this reminded me of taking patients to homeless pods, but they were heated, so i very much doubt theyed stay there either, yes it was cheap but definately not cheerful, i certainly would not be staying again, id pay the extra and stay in a hotel with heating and comfort, as this was not comfortable at all, never again"
