Top Ringdoo Sands Hotel Reviews

The Waterfront Hotel & Bistro

8/10 Good

"The room was small but clean. Good power shower! Bed comfortable. Some bedside lights would have been nice. Breakfast was very good and the service came with a smile even though she was on her own and dealing with a broken coffee machine! The outside looks tired and scruffy."

Lakeview Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic place to stay for an overnight trip. The hosts were lovely and extremely helpful. The breakfast was made to order and extremely tasty. I would highly recommend staying here."

The Thistle

10/10 Excellent

"Easy parking outside the window Clean Good location"

Dairy Cottage East Challoch Farm

10/10 Excellent

"It was a beautiful experience staying here, the cottage was immaculate and even had the condiments to make tea/coffee or hot chocolate with biscuits. The owners were very friendly and helpful.We look forward to visiting east Challoch farm again."

The Harbour House Hotel

8/10 Good

"It is right next to the water and has a nice position and view of the rest of the small town (village). We would stay again if we had to, as we couldn't find a place to stay in the actual town of Stranraer the Inn is located in Portpatrick). It was adequate for the price. We ate somewhere else, but the restaurant seemed busy. It was also pretty quiet for a pub/restaurant in the summer, which we appreciated."

3 bedroom accommodation in Lochans, near Stranraer

"Fabulous holiday cottage in a great location. Kathleen was lovely and could not do enough for us, even providing hot water for tea during a local power cut and making us some of her amazing home-made jam to take home! The cottage was lovely, spacious, clean and well equipped with everything we needed. We will definitely be returning!"
