“disappointing”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 April 2011

This hotel is terrible never see the owners room was not cleaned for the duration of my stay no hot water in sink to shave had to boil room kettle shower was hot and cold nearly Burt myself once on arrival no one to welcome me i rang the bell four times no answer thought about looking for another hotel at that time rooms were clean but i did not take breakfast told the owners this but my tea tray was not replenished as my room was not cleaned for the duration of my stay three nights in total i even had to let other guests in as the same thing happened to them
no one there on arrival to sum thing up i felt the owners had other preoccupation on there minds you cant run a guest house in this way the paying customer comes paramount not there social life however i enjoyed my stay in stranraer but i would not advice this hotel .

Room Tip: Totally abysmal in two words .

Steven, I am sorry to hear that you feel disappointed about your recent stay at Lakeview as we pride ourselves on high standards of customer service which has resulted in a very high satisfaction rating on trip advisor and various other online booking sites. I remember you very clearly and with regards your check in, as you didn't arrive at your stated time I made a quick trip to the shop and we did arrive back at the same time as you arrived.
I would also like assure you that your room was tidied on each of the days of your stay but only at night when you went out as our cleaner was refused access during the day but she did leave clean towels and tea tray condiments at your door.The room you were staying in was recently refurbished about 1 month ago and a new bathroom fitted and if there was a problem with hot or cold water I wish you had brought it to our attention at the time and we could have tried to rectify it.
I would like to assure you that we take our business very seriously and value all helpful reasonable comments.

“Wonderful Stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 March 2011

We traveled from Stoke on the friday afternoon for a wedding the next day. Due to the time we were able to set off we didn't arrive here until 10pm, but we were still met by a friendly and very helpful lady who showed us to our rooms, explained the whole process before leaving us for the night. The following morning we were greeted by another lovely lady who made us a fantastic breakfast with as much toast etc as we could ever want.

My gran felt a little ill this first day (I think the long drive had been a bit hard on her), but once again the staff here were amazing - even moved her to a room on the lowest floor so she didn't have to go up so many steps. They took her tea and toast too!

We stayed for 2 nights in total and were so happy with everything. The rooms were lovely and clean, there were tea / coffee making items in the rooms (inc biscuits!) . The breakfasts were lovely and owners / staff were helpful and lovely people who go above and beyond on any guests requests. Location is great and we all loved our stay.

“Perfect!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 March 2011

We stayed here for one night, in order to catch the early ferry to Belfast. Arrived late on a wild night to a very friendly welcome, large, comfortable room, and a great sleep. Breakfast the next morning was very nice, and our request to have it early was accommodated without any problems.
Would definitely stay here again.

“Everything about this guesthouse is wonderful!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 October 2010

Lakeview Guesthouse is a clean, convenient, well-decorated accommodation in this small coastal town. It is perfect for those just off the ferry from Ireland. The Logans are wonderful people who take you under their wing and treat you like family, and the breakfast was scrumptious. I can't say enough good things about Lakeview, and the price was very reasonable. I highly recommend staying here!

“The Best B&B Ive ever visted”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 October 2010

After staying in hostels for 2 weeks,I needed my own space and some downtime to just relax, Lakeview was a welcomed treat. What I didn't expect was the amazing Breakfast, great hospitality and feeling like I was home all for such a great price!!! I'm embarrassed to say I payed more for a hostel in Dublin.

I booked this place on the ferry from Belfast to Stranraer, it was a bit of a last minute decision not to continue on to Edinburgh right away. Once I checked in I wanted to stay another day but they were all booked up. Elaine took it upon herself to find me somewhere else to stay and even drove me there in the morning!!!! I couldn't believe how above and beyond she went and how much she cared!

If your planning to pass through or visit Stranraer I highly recommend staying a night or two with Alan and Elaine, If your not planning a trip or passing through Stranraer I recommend you do, so you can spend at least a night here!

The decor was very nice. The decorating looked professionally done! Very Eloquent, felt like home.

If I'm ever back in this part of the world I will stay here again for sure!

Thanks again for an amazing experience I will remember forever!
