It had an excellent homely feel with facilities to match, a comfortable bed, and the ensuite was spotlessly clean, with a nice touch with the bedside refreshments.
We would stay again when traveling to Northern Ireland I Would highly recommend this accommodation.

The rooms were big and spacious. Good for a family stay. We had the bungalow and it had a parking for free which was amazing. The toilet is nice and big and clean. Loved everything about the stay. Had a restaurant that served full course meal and was nice too, another plus point.

This is a comfortable old home on the water with lovely views. Brendan, our host, was helpful and available. He made us dinner reservations for the night of our arrival. The bed and pillows were comfortable. The shower worked very well with on demand hot water. We had two different breakfasts, both delicious. There’s a nice walking path out the front door along the water’s edge and less than a mile to town center. I highly recommend staying at Briar Brae.
Balyett Farmhouse B&B offers spectacular views of Lochryan and the countryside. Guests benefit from free parking and free WiFi. The rooms feature an en suite or private bathroom.

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.

The food downstairs was perfect for us and 2 young kids. Staff very helpful and kind when I asked about the egg fried rice and curry sauce! Was delicious! Would definitely stay again before our ferry. Left a daughter’s mobile and they contacted us promptly before we even realised. Perfect location for early morning ferry. Shower was amazing!!! Staff so friendly.

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.

Cairnryan sits on the side of Loch Ryan and is therefore one sided. The village is 10-15 minutes from Stranraer which has plenty of pubs, cafes and restaurants. As a touring base or a stopover for the ferry Cairnryan is ideal but if you want nightlife that’s out.
We ate in Henry’s Bay House Restaurant which is very good. As for activities for young couples my wife and I are 73 and 70 years young so no advice on that. On the other side of the loch there are quite a few nice beaches within a 12 mile drive but take a picnic. As stated above touring is ideal. Portpatrick and the Mull of Galloway are well worth a visit in fine weather, as are Castle Kennedy and Logan gardens.

The whole experience was made easy by the friendliness of all. The only problem I had was it was too short. I would have liked to have been able to stay for a few days. But was unable to do so because of the nature of my travel reason.
Incredibly large room with true American king-sized bed. Living area and soaking tub in our suite with TV above the soaking tub. We had very early departure for a ferry and our to-go breakfast was at our door when we were ready to leave. Ferry is less than 5 mins from the property. Host was helpful and accommodating to help us with local resources.
The place was clean and nice, so comfortable and private. Almost as close are you can get to Stena line. Walkable distance. The hosts were very kind and made sure that I had everything I needed. And even gave me a ride to the ferry because it was pouring rain!
Lovely place, exceptionally easy for the ferry I needed to catch the next day. Maggie is a gem and made me feel right at home immediately! The room was lovely and much larger than I had anticipated. I only wish I could have stayed longer.
The hosts were fantastic and very friendly.Made our stay in this fantastic bed & breakfast even more enjoyable would highly recommend this property to any looking to stay in Cairnryan fantastic experience and will most certainly be back
Paul and John are wonderful and helpful hosts. They serve one of the best breakfasts we have experienced in Scotland so far. They are conveniently located on the waterfront in short range of many Dumfries and Galloway sights.
The breakfast in this lovely hotel is top of the pops ! Everything cooked to order perfectly . Paul and John are such brilliant hosts . Cheerful and they gave thought of everything that you could possibly need . Great place
Excellent hosts and very welcoming. Our suite was beautiful throughout with every detail carefully thought through.
Breakfast is just to die for!
A bonus is that the hotel is just minutes from the ferry terminals.
Pat was very welcoming and friendly. The room was equipped with all the amenities expected of a good B&B. Access (to and from) was convenient i.e. without disturbing others. I would book Cairnryan B&B again.
We had a wonderful stay! The room was comfortable and had everything you needed! The breakfast was outstanding! Excellent location to catch the ferry in the morning to Ireland! We would stay again for sure!
Pat was extremely welcoming , friendly. and we felt very much at ease. The room was immaculate and very comfortable. Pat provides some extra touches that make a stay in Cairnryan B&B special.
The quality and comfort of the rooms was on par with a 4* hotel. The home cooked breakfast a very welcome surprise. Pat is a lovely host who genuinely enjoys welcoming guests.
Absolutely ideal for travellers heading on the early ferries from Cairnryan. Great night's sleep, nice to relax after the journey with a well appointed kitchen and comfy sofa.
This property was just what we were looking for, which was a quiet place to sleep after we had got off the ferry and before we did a ten hour drive to Skye
Lovely family room on the top floor. Two very large rooms with a bathroom in between. Perfect for a family and less than a 5 minute drive to the ferry.
