The room was excellent, comfortable and well equipped.

Kaimes United Kingdom

Friendly staff. Very good location. Excellent breakfast. Although we hadn't booked for dinner, hotel was able to accommodate us. Everything felt very COVID secure.

Annette United Kingdom

We had to leave too early to get the breakfast but did get sandwiches made for us the night before that we ate on our ferry ride to Belfast. We were very close to the ferry terminal to go to Belfast.

Linda United States of America

Working nightshifts so didn't require breakfasts, however the staff kindly provided us with lunch instead. Would highly recommend this property, in fact we requested that our company re book for the remainder of our works.

Elaine United Kingdom

Room comfortable. Evening meal and breakfast very good.

Martyn United Kingdom

The Evening meal and Breakfast were absolutely excellent, huge portions!!

Doreen United Kingdom

Clean comfy rooms. Food excellent. Staff friendly.

Jean United Kingdom

3rd visit to Craignelder, Very warm and friendly welcome, perfect location , our sister lives in Stranraer

Janice United Kingdom

Parking for motorcycle was perfect- outside the front, off the road and in clear view. Restaurant was good quality if a little souless and crowded (Needed background music) Ideal for the ferry early next morning.

Mark United Kingdom

Helpful friendly staff who went above and beyond to make our stay wonderful Lovely clean, comfortable room with beautiful view. Food was delicious. Altogether an amazing experience and we can't wait to return.
