47 Dalrymple Street, Stranraer, DG97EY, United Kingdom – Great location - show map
Handy for the ferry in the morning. Lovely host. Comfortable bed. Nice little touches e.g. local takeaway menus, taxi numbers etc on noticeboard. Everything needed for an overnight stop.
United KingdomThe room was extremely clean and comfortable. It had a warm, light beach feel to it. It felt airy and fresh. We enjoyed our stay.
United KingdomI always stay at the Thistle Inn while in Stranraer and couldn't be happier! Alex is amazing and will guide you to the best places in town. The rooms are very clean and cozy with very comfortable beds. I always feel welcome and at home here.
United States of AmericaVery handy for catching early morning ferry from Cairnryan. Lovely hospitality tray. Great idea to have leaflets and flyers from local businesses/services in the area on the room noticeboard.
United KingdomA Covid lockdown stay. Owner very helpful. The room was cozy. Bed very comfortable. Best night sleep in a long time. Thank you Sandy. The Thistle has been an oasis in this crazy world we currently live in.
IrelandIt was very clean and comfortable and central to everything ! The owner was very friendly and made sure we were ok and had everything we needed ! Would highly recommend !
United KingdomThe owner was really helpful and I had an early check in, was able to park my old motorbike right in view of my room and I was guided to the right places to grab a meal.
United KingdomWiFi excellent, central location so could walk to town centre 2 mins. Small n cosy n warm when we returned on a evening. Could park right upside but wider vehicles may have problem as car park entrance tight. Very clean n homely touches, embroidered pillows, Tissues, bottles of water n biscuits. Had lovely Italian meal at papa Something? nxt to car park in town. You get a car park pass for town car park from newsagent opposite, this is free.
United KingdomThis is a motel set up which suited us well just park the car and walk into room the owner meets you and is very helpful this hotel is central to stranraer easy access to local restaurants and takeaways local supermarkets all 5min walk away
United KingdomThe rooms are laid out a bit motel style behind the inn. the front door of each opening onto the small car park area. They were very clean and the bed was comfortable. There was tea and coffee making stuff and complimentary bottle of spring water included. On the listing it states that sheets and towels are extra and when I requested those items the owner provided them FOC. I will definitley try to book again when I visit the town again.
