Absolutely first class service, we were leaving early and the lassie that checked us in, (think she was the owner) made us a packed lunch cos we’d left too early for breakfast. Best packed lunch and well prepared even down to the Prawn Cocktail crisps 😊 nice touch. Would have no hesitation recommending the Craignelder Hotel and I’ll definitely be back.

It’s a spacious, quiet place to stay. Sadly we were only spending the night before catching our ferry but it does look like a great place to spend a long day just chilling. Breakfast was superb!

    The facility was clean and comfortable.

    The facility was clean and comfortable. We only stayed one night because we were catching the Ferry to Ireland the next day which is close by. We were able to find an outside Laundry on the property of a Petrol station just a 10 minute drive which was unique to us!!

    Homey, friendly and immaculately clean accommodations. Pat was so helpful. The driveway is a bit hard to see on the way by but the place is scenic and convenient for leaving on the ferry. Ate a great meal at the Custom House pub.

    The location is great, especially for access to the ferry ports. We visited Logan Botanic Gardens, Glenwhan Gardens and Castle Kennedy which are all within a short drive from Cairnryan. We had a lovely meal at Henry's Bay House restaurant in Stranraer. Also had a nice snack from Subway in Stranraer and delicious soup with home made bread at Glenwhan Gardens. Would avoid trying to find somewhere to eat in Stranraer town as there are few restaurants that looked appealing.

    It was where we caught the ferry to Ireland and if ever going again I would definitely use Cairnryan. We used a restaurant by the name of Henry’s Bay 10 mins away and it was very nice would recommend they did a teatime special that was excellent value for money and the staff were very attentive. The route to Ayr from Cairmryan has a beautiful coast way and well worth a drive to. There were some breathtaking views.

    My wife & I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Cairnryan Bed and Breakfast. Everything was to our liking, it's in a great location with free on-street and off-street parking readily available. We particularly enjoyed our breakfast in the light & airy breakfast room; there were plenty of options, and choices for cooked breakfast too. Pat and Bill are great hosts and provided us with very useful information to get the most out of our short trip.

    Second stay at this accommodation. A restful overnight stay after crossing on ferry (just five/ten minutes away by car). Brilliant facilities in the room, excellent range and quality of breakfast options. Proprietors are friendly and very helpful. The rooms (which are equipped like a five star hotel) are situated at the back and very quiet. Good parking and wifi available too.
