Fantastic place for an o/n stay
Lovely stay here before catching the ferry to NI. Was a fantastic size room with plenty of space for our LO to run around and play. Having a kitchenette with microwave oven was really useful after a long day travelling and meant we could easily make something in the room but there is also a great list of local restaurants and takeaways too.

Lovely people & great additional resources in room
I arrived late - quick, friendly check and took me to my room personally.

great
Excellent & spacious room, lovely big bed, modern bathroom. Breakfast cooked to order, spot on. Handy location just set back from main road, across which is a small beach. The little kitchenette area made the"can't be bothered to go out again this evening, let's shop at the local supermarket and eat in" practical

We really enjoyed our 2 night stay here. The rooms were self-contained units with beds, bathroom, small kitchen and sitting area. Facilities were very clean and tidy. Breakfast was in our room waiting for us. Lots of options - croissants, fruit, yoghurt, cereals. It was no problem to ask for more, if needed. All rooms are dog-friendly. Even a cage was provided. Fantastic location right across from the beach!
It's a great place to explore the area, or if travelling to/from Cairnryan. However, please be aware, there isn't a restaurant, bar or lounge area, if that's what you're expecting.
Only 'cons' for me - room was very warm, and noisy because it's beside the road.
