Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Lovely bedroom. Bed was so comfortable. Staff couldn’t be more attentive and so pleasant- nothing was too much trouble for them. Good location and great restaurant. Can highly recommend this hotel. Certainly stay here again if in Stranraer.

Being early for the ferry to Belfast we (my wife, sister, brother-in law and myself, called into the Craignelder Hotel at around 15.30 on Sunday 4th February and went into the Bar/Restaurant hoping to get some bar food and drinks.
We entered the bar and went to sit in corner seats below the TV when a lady behind the bar, chewing Chewing Gum, said, in a vert curt tone "you can,t sit there, thats being set for diners", We said that we would like to eat and we were told in no uncertain terms that lunch was over and that the evening menu was not available until 18.00. Thats fine, but when we wen to sit down we were told that the only place we could sit was on the bar stools.
My sister is 68 and suffers from Crones and has a Stoma so sitting on a bar stool was not OK.
Rather than offend, by walking out, which we had discussed, we decided to order a drink and hope that the mood would change.
It didn't and we drank up and went to the wonderful Central Cafe in the town.
Should the snow be 12" deep, the ferry cancelled and the Craignelder the only hotel opened, I will never set foot in it again. Any wonder Stranraer is a ghost town following the Ferry Terminal Closure with a welcome like we received at Craignelder.

We have just had a brilliant three days hotel is amazing n the staff are kind n so helpful.we went to see the grandkids they joined us for breakfast the food is fresh n beautiful cooked the room was perfect n clean n best night sleep ever
