Lakeview Guest House is located on the seafront in Stranraer, 200 metres from Stranraer Beach. Both free WiFi and parking on-site are available at the guest house free of charge. Featuring family rooms, this property also provides guests with a children's playground. I love everything about the room. I couldn’t get it more out for the costs i paid. I got two very soft beds( used one for my clothes😅). The room was always clean and new towels on the rack. On the night stand were bottles of whiskey and gin and two glasses, free to drink. Also kettle for use to make morning coffee or tea! Freshly prepared breakfast. You choose what you will eat for breakfast next morning.

Featuring a hot tub, The Galloway Steading- The Bee Hive Couples Retreat with Hot Tub and Fire Pit is located in Glenluce. This property offers access to a balcony, free private parking and free WiFi. Ringdoo Sands Beach is 2.7 km from the apartment. We had the best stay earlier this month, loved every minute! We got very lucky with the weather so made good use of the BBQ on our first night and sat outside for our evening meals. The hot tub was so relaxing, especially at night whilst watching the stars. We bought some tasty homemade jam and BBQ starter pack from the cute little pod shop. Hosts also arranged our early check in and left us firewood. We liked that the garden around the pods were enclosed as meant we could let our dog wander around without worrying he could get out. The location was perfect, lots of lovely walks nearby and close to a beach. We would love to return one day and highly recommend!

Situated in Stranraer, in a historic building, 700 metres from Stranraer Beach, Thornbank House is a guest house with a fitness centre and indoor pool. This guest house has a private pool, a garden and free private parking. Guests can make use of the sun terrace or the picnic area, or enjoy views of the sea and garden. 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!
