“Wonderful”

What a lovely surprise awaited us when we booked the Balyett Bed and Breakfast. It was everything the reviews have said previously. Pat and her husband are such nice people and you are made to feel so welcome. The rooms were excellent, with spotless linen and fluffy towels. Every attention to detail that you could want, and the location is just perfect whether you are catching a ferry or just using as a base for touring. The breakfast was really very nice. The downside - I didn't want to leave. Book here and you will not be disappointed.

“Fantastic setting, pleasant service - a very relaxing break”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 October 2011

My girlfriend and I stayed at Baylett for two nights for a quiet weekend of rest away from home after a busy few months of work. We were so pleased with the B&B - it was so thoughtfully decorated and very comfortable. The host, Pat, was very pleasant, showing us to our room and giving us a few tips on where to go and what to see before simply leaving us at peace.

Breakfast was fantastic - fruit, cereal and yougurt, then a cooked breakfast with haggis and lovely grilled bacon being the best parts. Endless toast and coffee left us set up happily for the day. We particularly liked how Pat had taken so much care to lay the table in her beautiful dining room for breakfast - we took particular note of her lovely Denby china set.

The room was lovely, with a view over the loch in the mornings. Nice touches included lots of tea, coffee and biscuits. A half decanter of sherry, and some mint chocolates. All the furnishings are high quality too.

One of the nicest aspects of our trip was on our second afternoon we arrived back at the B&B for a rest before changing to go out for dinner. Pat lit the wood fire in the living room for us, and invited us down to relax on the sofa. Just as we were heading out the front door later, Pat's husband caught up with me to ask if we wanted a lift so I could drink and wouldn;t have to drive back. I politely declined, but his offer was genuine and very much appreciated.

During the day we explored Portpatrick, the lighthouse on the Mull of Galloway and just soaked up the sea air.

A fantastic break all round, and will 100% return to Baylett. It's a shame so many people use it as a quick sleep before/after catching the ferry - it's a great place for a short break in its own right.

“Do stay here you won't regret it”

Stayed just the night on our way to catch the early ferry. The view as you turn into the drive is just the first of many pleasant surprises. We were met by the lady of the house and shown up to our lovely ensuite room. The room was very large and very tastfully decorated it felt more like you were visiting friends you were made to feel so at home. We are classic car owners and like secure parking and the house being just off the road and quite secluded was ideal. Plenty tea and coffee and biscuits and the little chocolates and glass of something stronger were just a nice added touch. The breakfast was just the ticket before the ferry have the blue berries I did. Will certainly call again next time we are on route to Ireland.

“Lovely B&B - highly recommend!!”

I booked this B&B for my husband as he was travelling from North Wales to Stranraer to catch the early morning ferry over to Ireland.

After a long drive he was greeted by lovely hosts and kind hospitality, he was very grateful for his nightcap!!His room (en suite) was very comfortable and spotlessly clean. Breakfast was excellent. Location is ideal for the ferry port as its in a quiet area and only two minutes away in the car.

Excellent value for money, a lovely warm & welcoming B&B - highly recommend!!

“A Special Place”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 September 2011

Stayed at the Baylett 8 September 2011 and can only agree fully with the previous reviewer. This is a special place run by a special lady - Pat. Accommodation is first class and the breakfast just as good. Fully recommended.
