I was with a party at the NWC. The hotel is situated in overlooking the old ferry terminal (not the best view in town) and consists of an early 18th house to which numerous additions which do not enhance its appearance. Upon my entry I was put off by a 'foostie' smell and a reception area which lacked imagination (scuffed... More

I'm so glad I didn't listen to the bah humbugs about this hotel. Yes its a bit old-fashioned but nothing unbearable and it has flat screen telly in the 90's decorated room but the room has character!! Its not a boxy modern boutique hotel but we loved it. We called the hotel en route to see if our rooms would... More

When we arrived at the North West Castle we received a fabulous greeting, the check in process was friendly and swift and there was someone on hand who carried our bags to the room and showed us in. The room was a family room, 1 double bad and a single bed, the room was really big and had a hairdryer,... More

We stayed in this hotel for 2 nights. The room we had was a bit dated, but couldn't fault the cleanliness. My only complaint would be only 1 bottle of water for a double room, but I'm sure we would have received another if we had asked. The staff couldn't have been nicer. We were on dinner,bed and breakfast tariff.... More

We have stayed there on two occasions this time we had room 18, a suite on the top floor with a balcony overlooking Lock Ryan at the front and one at the back overlooking the town and hills. It was a big step-up from the one we had 18 months ago with lounge & bedroom and a large walk-in wardrobe,... More

Booked in here unexpectedly on 23rd march due to all roads out of Stranraer closed by snow when we came off the ferry. Have stayed at this lovely hotel several times before and this was another lovely stay. Used the pool and jacuzzi, had a fabulous dinner and a great nights sleep. Finally made it to Glasgow a day late!!

Bedroom was large and very comfortable, bathroom very clean and bright. The staff from reception to dining room were very friendly and really gave service the way it used to be. Staff from other hotels and business concerns should visit here to see how it is done. The food in the dining room is first class and served with a... More

This was a wonderful hotel to stay in. Location near the center of Stranraer with outstanding views from restaurant. The hotel is tastefully decorated and staff service is of the highest standard. Reminded me of the service which was once standard in our hotels but has now been lost in many. Dinner in the restaurant was fantastic, really well presented... More

Just spent a curling weekend at the hotel. Couldn't fault the food and drink or service. The rooms are fine and excellent value for b and b. The spa is ok though the swimming pool has seen better days. Dining is available in the main dining room and the curling lounge. The range and prices of dishes was good and... More

We had a great time at this truly excellent hotel which is one of a group run by the McMillan family for over 50 years. Staff are extremely helpful, efficient and friendly and are ready, willing and able to make your visit a worthwhile experience from start to finish. The food is of essentially Scottish fare being of delicious quality... More
