Rhins of Galloway, Stranraer

Rhins of Galloway, Stranraer - Hotel Description

In lawned gardens, looking out over the waters of Loch Ryan, Rhins of Galloway has a beautiful and yet convenient location, between the 2 ferry ports of Stranraer and Cairnryan.

The guest house is just 4 minutes' drive from Stranraer's ferry terminal and only a one-minute drive from Cairnryan, making it ideally positioned for the Stena Line ferries to Belfast and the P&O ferries to Larne.

With all the peace and quiet of an out-of-town, semi-rural location, Rhins of Galloway is nevertheless within a short drive of the area's shops and eateries.

In a spacious and relaxed setting, all of the high-quality en suite accommodation is comfortable, clean and well presented.

Despite the style and stature of the building, the fact that there is no licensed bar or restaurant means that Rhins of Galloway is defined as a guest house rather than as a hotel. The premises are only open to guests.

Opened in 1943 by Princess Alice, Duchess of Gloucester, the building itself has had a variety of uses, boasting a history that can make a place feel very special. While the rooms are decorated with contemporary furniture, the corridors and other communal areas mix antiques with modern design.

Minimum duration of stay is one night. Maximum duration of stay is 5 nights.

The hotel supplies a VAT receipt as standard.
