Ardwell Hotels

"It's a grand old (or middle-aged) hotel on a stunning hillside location overlooking the harbour. It has clearly seen better days, and seems to be struggling somewhat. This does not stop me from staying there, as I want to support them, and it's a good location for the ferry at Cairnryan. It's clean, has a lift/elevator and rooms with harbour views. Because it's a big old building, we had to wait quite a while for hot water to reach our rooms for showers. Staff are exceptionally friendly. From the receptionist who checked us in after our ferry arrived late, to the dining room waitress at breakfast - which was cooked to order and delicious."

"The room was beautifully clean and freshly decorated. The staff were very welcoming and accommodating and really kind to my dogs. Thank you!"

"Hotel is tired and needs some refurbishment, cracked tiles in entrance. Furniture walls knocked and marked . Bedroom spacious and clean but dated , bed lined poor, beds with sagging mattress. Furniture knocked and worn, newest bathroom but cracked wobbly floor tiles, broken cabinet, rusty towel rail, shower door would not close. Staff very friendly, views from hotel superb. Breakfast is quantity over quality. "

"Excellent for a short stay, good value for money and central to the seafront."

"Very comfortable. Lovely people and excellent breakfast (one of the best we have had)."

"Excellent spot with amazing views "

"We arrived slightly earlier but Derek had left the house key in door for us to let ourselves in. He called later to check everything was OK and showed us how to open the hottub lid . It was all ready to jump in and very warm. Cottage was modern and everything needed was provided, towels, bathrobes for hottub, cutlery and plates etc. Excellent front garden for playing football with our son. Overall couldn't fault it and had a relaxing stay."

"Electric charging was easy and a great bonus as some in the area were not working. The view from the suite was great, especially as the storm raged able to watch the massive waves crashing."

"We had a lovely stay at Daisy Cottage, the house was clean and perfect for our family. "
