I cannot express enough how wonderful our stay was. My husband and I are backpacking through the UK we are unfamiliar with the public transportation so the lovely lady working there personally drove my husband and I to our closest connecting bus stop. Not only that the breakfast was absolutely lovely and affordable and the room was so comfortable with the most incredible view of the green rolling hills. Service went above and beyond and the stay was incredibly affordable

This is a truly lovely place...only 10 minutes from Stranraer in a tranquil village with a wonderful drive alongside the lapping shore of Loch Ryan. A former coaching inn where original features reveal its history. The room was immaculately clean with tea/coffee facilities, and a scrumptious couple of homemade oat & sultana cookies..fantastic quality sleep. Jo, who runs the guest house with her sister Sam, is a wonderful host, and Sam's breakfast are easily a match for any luxury hotel (the porridge is sheer perfection). Excellent wifi connection which is free. Commitment to a sustainability ethos guides their policies throughout. Sheer perfection. Thank you Jo & Sam

We just wanted to say a heartfelt thank you for the wonderful stay we had at Corsewall Arms Guesthouse. Everything was absolutely perfect — from the spotlessly clean rooms to the incredibly comfortable bed and the peaceful atmosphere. We felt so welcome and at ease throughout our stay. It truly exceeded our expectations, and we’re already counting the days until we can come back again!
