Good 3 star hotel with excellent service

Great hotel in the centre of Stranraer. Large room and bathroom very comfy bed and pillows. Excellent customer service from all staff. Good cooked breakfast. The only negative I would offer is that the bedroom was too hot.

Lovely hotel in a prefect location

We had a lovely 3 night stay whilst attending the nearby Oyster Festival. The hotel is perfectly located close to the town. The staff were just fantastic. Very friendly and welcoming. As for the hotel itself, it is a little dated, but some refurbishment work was underway during our stay. It was very clean too. As for the breakfast, it was just wonderful. All freshly cooked and served piping hot.

Okay but not worth the £120

Great breakfast and great service from both reception staff and the breakfast staff however the state of the room I stayed in was definitely not worth £120 a night. The bed was comfortable but the room felt very outdated and a little grubby because of the condition.
Owain, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Unusual building in a good location

Interesting building resembling a castle located right on the harbour front. Petrol station and supermarket nearby. The reception staff were friendly, and the bar and restaurant staff were the right level of attentive. I didn't have chance to use the gym or pool.
Alan, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Relaxing and welcoming

The North West Castle is a lovely, relaxing old style hotel that reminds you what hotels should be like and puts the factory hotels to shame. The building is interesting, in the style of a castle, a little quirky with tons of history. Above all it invites you to relax and enjoy your stay. The staff were great and a special thanks to Helen and Alan the bar manager

Hotel is old but clean and renovation is taking place. The room was clean and comfortable. The staff were friendly and attentive.

One Night Stay

Stayed for one night. The meals we had in the restaurant were very disappointing to such an extent that we had to complain. The outcome was that we were not charged for the two meals. The room we had was spacious & comfortable if not some what dated. We will not be returning,
