Excellent location downtown. Good jumping off point for exploring the area. And the guy that runs the place (I never did get his name) was really helpful with suggestions for places to see.

Room was very comfortable and well appointed; TV needed a wee bit of attention but then worked perfectly (previous guest had been fiddling with it!); breakfast was one of the best cooked breakfasts I have enjoyed when staying away from home - freshly cooked to order and very tasty! A big 10/10 - eggselent!

Mark

Balyett is wonderfully located just outside Stranraer, off the road to Cairnryan. The room was extremely comfortable and I loved the bed; it was very soft (which I like) but may not be to everyone's taste. The bathroom was small but was modern and clean.
Lovely breakfast on one long table.

Melissa

The room was large, clean and well supplied. Large windows onto a quiet country scene. Homemade cookies with the tea and coffee service was a fun touch. Breakfast was varied and well done. Our hostess, attentive and super kind. We arrived very late due to a vehicle break down. No problem, the keys were in a lock box and we let ourselves in. Oh, and the king sized bed was 5 star!

Stranraer is a ferry port with good bus links to Dumfries.
Stranraer is a ferry port with good bus links to Dumfries. The tow, itself had a "sedate ' feel to it. Traffic was slow and polite. Lots of fish and chips shops. The central castle / tower house is the only place of interest and museum. Famous centre for curling with rink open in winter months.

Absolutely highly recommend this beautiful stylish hotel, very clean, great food with a warm welcome Excellent location on the sea front and lots of parking spaces. Beautiful reception area and staff were very welcoming and helpful. Room was very spacious with a small table and two chairs, large comfy bed and good facilities.

Stranraer is wet and windy and very rundown.
Stranraer is wet and windy and very rundown. There is not a restaurant open past 9 o’clock. Very few takeaways and a Tesco’s and a Morrisons. There is nothing to do past 1730. Once the shops are closed our hotel we arrived at 2045 And the restaurant had already closed, there was no room service we had to go out in the pouring rain and wind to get a takeaway as they would not allow takeaway delivered to the hotel or to be eaten in hotel bar area which only one was open. We had to eat it in a room and it was cold by the time you got back so complete waste of money. This hotel is rundown and has been the same for the last 20 years. Last time we visited it. Stranraer was bustling, then as the port was in town. But no, there is only cairn Ryan you can leave from and it is 6 miles out of the village. All it’s good for is getting the ferry to Belfast.AAnonymous - 6.0Scored 6.0

Firstly, ships no longer berth in Stranraer as your photo depicts.Nothing wrong with Stranraer or the people who are very friendly, but industry and employment is desperately needed together with an improvement of the road network, in particular the 100 mile long A75. All thanks to the Scottish government who are spending the money on the capital City.DonaldUnited Kingdom - 6.0Scored 6.0

We were quite sad at how downtrodden Stranraer looked since we were there in 2019. It seems very little shops survived the pandemic and there is now very little to do. The buildings could do with a clean or a repaint. This once bustling town is a bit sorry for itself.ElaineUnited Kingdom - 8.0Scored 8.0
Stranraer itself has become very shabby and rundown.
Stranraer itself has become very shabby and rundown. However there are wonderful attractions all around it. Logan Botanic Garden was brilliant with a decent cafe. Portpatrick is a beautiful small village with lots of cliff walks while Sandhead has a fabulous beach. Castle Kennedy Gardens and Glenwhan Gardens are also nearby while Wigtown Book Town isn't too far away.SarahUnited Kingdom

- From $86.21 per night9.5Scored 9.5ExceptionalRated exceptional· 443 reviewsBreakfast was well prepared, tasty & great value. Room & en-suite had everything we required & accommodations was well organised. Hosts - Colin & Norma were friendly, informative but also discreet in their manner. It was a pleasure to spend the one night there on our way to a wedding near Dublin. It was an ideal location under 10 minutes away from ferry port. Would highly recommend to anyone coming to the area & would stay again if going back to Ireland.DonaldUnited Kingdom

This really made our stay special,as the room has lovely views. The breakfasts were tasty, I recommend trying the Mexican Eggs. The area around the Galloway Peninsula was stunning. So quiet, near empty beaches, free carparks. Certainly a place to return too.Sue and RogerUnited Kingdom
