Homey, friendly and immaculately clean accommodations. Pat was so helpful. The driveway is a bit hard to see on the way by but the place is scenic and convenient for leaving on the ferry. Ate a great meal at the Custom House pub.

The location is great, especially for access to the ferry ports. We visited Logan Botanic Gardens, Glenwhan Gardens and Castle Kennedy which are all within a short drive from Cairnryan. We had a lovely meal at Henry's Bay House restaurant in Stranraer. Also had a nice snack from Subway in Stranraer and delicious soup with home made bread at Glenwhan Gardens.
Would avoid trying to find somewhere to eat in Stranraer town as there are few restaurants that looked appealing.

It was where we caught the ferry to Ireland and if ever going again I would definitely use Cairnryan. We used a restaurant by the name of Henry’s Bay 10 mins away and it was very nice would recommend they did a teatime special that was excellent value for money and the staff were very attentive. The route to Ayr from Cairmryan has a beautiful coast way and well worth a drive to. There were some breathtaking views.

Cairnryan sits on the side of Loch Ryan and is therefore one sided. The village is 10-15 minutes from Stranraer which has plenty of pubs, cafes and restaurants. As a touring base or a stopover for the ferry Cairnryan is ideal but if you want nightlife that’s out.
We ate in Henry’s Bay House Restaurant which is very good. As for activities for young couples my wife and I are 73 and 70 years young so no advice on that. On the other side of the loch there are quite a few nice beaches within a 12 mile drive but take a picnic. As stated above touring is ideal. Portpatrick and the Mull of Galloway are well worth a visit in fine weather, as are Castle Kennedy and Logan gardens.

The whole experience was made easy by the friendliness of all. The only problem I had was it was too short. I would have liked to have been able to stay for a few days. But was unable to do so because of the nature of my travel reason.
Incredibly large room with true American king-sized bed. Living area and soaking tub in our suite with TV above the soaking tub. We had very early departure for a ferry and our to-go breakfast was at our door when we were ready to leave. Ferry is less than 5 mins from the property. Host was helpful and accommodating to help us with local resources.
Pat and Bill are very welcoming hosts. The bedroom was spotless. They had thought of everything. All the modern conveniences of a high class hotel in a charming Bed and Breakfast. Pat made us a taste packed breakfast to take on our early ferry the next morning. We would definitely stay here again.
Lovely place, exceptionally easy for the ferry I needed to catch the next day. Maggie is a gem and made me feel right at home immediately! The room was lovely and much larger than I had anticipated. I only wish I could have stayed longer.
The location is perfect for the ferry from Cairnryan.
The property is clean, big and located in a great spot
The owners are nice and friendly
The room was big and clean
Breakfast was terrific: ample choice of cooked and cold food.
Paul and John are wonderful and helpful hosts. They serve one of the best breakfasts we have experienced in Scotland so far. They are conveniently located on the waterfront in short range of many Dumfries and Galloway sights.
Pat was very welcoming and friendly. The room was equipped with all the amenities expected of a good B&B. Access (to and from) was convenient i.e. without disturbing others. I would book Cairnryan B&B again.
We had a wonderful stay! The room was comfortable and had everything you needed! The breakfast was outstanding! Excellent location to catch the ferry in the morning to Ireland! We would stay again for sure!
We stayed in the Gloucester Suite . This is the best B&B we have ever stayed in and we highly recommend it . It is a great place to stay particularly good for the Ferries from Cairnryan to Belfast or Larne
Rural location, really convenient for the Cairnryan ferry terminals and just across the road from the Loch Ryan coastal path. Lovely room, beautifully presented and a breakfast cooked to order.
Pat was extremely welcoming , friendly. and we felt very much at ease. The room was immaculate and very comfortable. Pat provides some extra touches that make a stay in Cairnryan B&B special.
Fantastic location and the view of the bay, wow!
Absolutely love this location. Beautiful inside with the touch of care you can admire.
Breakfast was the best we had in Scotland.
The quality and comfort of the rooms was on par with a 4* hotel. The home cooked breakfast a very welcome surprise. Pat is a lovely host who genuinely enjoys welcoming guests.
Absolutely ideal for travellers heading on the early ferries from Cairnryan. Great night's sleep, nice to relax after the journey with a well appointed kitchen and comfy sofa.
This property was just what we were looking for, which was a quiet place to sleep after we had got off the ferry and before we did a ten hour drive to Skye
Lovely family room on the top floor. Two very large rooms with a bathroom in between. Perfect for a family and less than a 5 minute drive to the ferry.
