Facing the beachfront, The Kenmuir Arms Hotel offers 4-star accommodation in New Luce and features a garden, terrace and restaurant. Featuring room service, this property also provides guests with a children's playground. Guests can have a drink at the bar. What can I say about this little gem of a hotel! Absolutely brilliant hosts, brilliant food, lovely setting beside river, very comfortable room, spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated. We loved it. The Sunday roast was amazing, the beef just melted when you cut it. Breakfast was a feast of Scottish flavours. The whole ambience was just superb. Thank you Michelle, Beth and Chris for your hospitality.

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!
