Found it online for an overnight before ferry to Belfast. Margaret (owner) recommended Bay House Restaurant in Stranraer for dinner, also excellent. Ideal location directly opposite P&O terminal, 1 Mile south of Stena terminal. Very good breakfast, rooms, service etc. highly recommended.

Stayed here for one night after arriving on the Belfast ferry and before heading to the Lake District. Accomodation was excellent, we had booked room 1 which was fine but we were given an upgrade to room 2 - for a 1 night stay either would have been fine. The owner, Margaret was very friendly. I can only say good... More

We picked the Homestead Guest House because it is located just at the entrance to the Ferry to Ireland, so we literally only had to drive out the driveway and cross the street. We were warmly welcomed upon arrival, and even though we had booked the room in the back of the house, Margaret offered us the larger room in... More

My daughter and I were traveling from Belfast via the Stena on our way to Edinbourgh for Hogmanay. We didn't have accomodations until Trudi from Stena called ahead and indeed Margaret had two rooms available. Our walk from the ferry was longer than expected. Worried about our arrival Margaret and her husband Robert came and found us just off the... More

We stayed for 1 night, as we were booked on the 7.30am ferry. The guesthouse is spotless. Margaret was a very good host. As we were leaving earlier she made us a lovely packed lunch for the trip. The location is ideal to the ferry port. Unfortunately we were awoken at 12.40am with some football supporters looking for accommodation. They... More

I cant fault this place at all. Its absolutely spotless, nothing is too much trouble for owners, breakfast is no trouble, fresh fruit offered and everything fresh. I honestly cant find fault, and for this reason i have just booked my third visit. Would highly recommend.

The rooms are comfortable, well equiped with all the home comforts. We had an early start the following morning, so traditional Breakfast was out, but Margaret... More

Stayed the night before catching the ferry to Belfast. Rooms with ensuite and facilities excellent. Margaret is a friendly host willing to do anything. Breakfast pack prepared and ready for us to collect at 6.15 for the early ferry. Great location close to the ferry terminal. Book without hesitation.
