Rhins of Galloway

Room was really lovely,  very clean and cosy with great lighting - bed & pillows were comfortable - fresh milk provided for tea in room.  Breakfast was just superb - the attention to detail of everything on the table - and quality. We loved our stay here - hosts are great friendly people and think of everything a guest might need. Would 110% recommend -&  go back in an instant!

Far exceeded expectations on every level.  Perfect location for early morning ferry connection, warm welcome on arrival, helpful advice on eating out, very quiet restful sleep and thats before talking about the rooms.  

I say rooms as it feels like a suite, spacious lounge with everything catered for, really nice way to relax and start a trip.  Bed was amazing, great sleep and very comfortable.  

All the ‘extras’ like bathrobe, slippers, good quality coffee, drinks, water, biscuits.  

I was in need of magnifying mirror, looked around and there it was.  Every detail thought of.  

Plenty sockets and USB connections and near the bed and wifi connection worked well.  

If i had to say any possible considerations and just more of a nice to have as a female solo traveller: 

1.   a long mirror would have been good, possibly there was one and I just missed it.
2. Hotel like security bolt at door would be nice to have. 
3. The slab pathway to car is a little narrow with large suitcase and hard to pull large case on gravel 

Fantastic place and my only choice now for ferry connections.

This is an absolutely wonderful place to stay with owners who are personable, friendly and helpful with the added bonus for being convenient for the ferry.  The rooms are spacious, comfortable and well thought out.  The breakfast was freshly cooked and delicious.  Once again, a lovely accommodation with great hosts.  Thank you.

Immaculately clean rooms. Rooms are large like a small suite. Fantastic service by the owners. Nice views across the loch. Good quality breakfast with lots of choice. Five minutes from both ferry terminals. Would be a good base to explore the local area. Highly recommended.

Just stayed overnight at this superb hotel.  Can’t fault the cleanliness and hospitality.  The breakfast are really special and served with a smile.
  If travelling from Caernryan port , this hotel is a perfect start to your holiday in Ireland

Over a few years I have used Rhin's before taking the ferry, as always, the welcome is friendly and sincere. The bedrooms are on par with 4- or 5-star hotels, comfortable but with individuality. As I travel frequently, I am looking for these gems, a place that feels like home.

A 4 star hotel with 5 star service. We had booked ahead to get a good jump on the nearby ferry back home to Ireland the next day. After a very disappointing experience in Edinburgh the night before, we had our faith in Scottish hospitality well and truly redeemed. What a special place the Rhins is. It may have looked functional and plain on the outside but what a gem we found on the inside. Met by our hosts at reception, we were treated with the greatest of courtesy and genuine interest. Immediately we were upgraded to their very best suite which we gladly accepted. WOW!! Outstanding in taste, quality and comfort. Decor, facilities, everything we could have wished for. They also gave us a great recommendation for eating out that evening. Btw big shout out to Henry's Bay House Restaurant just a few minutes drive towards Stranraer (top food and service to match our accommodation) Had the best sleep of our trip that night and a breakfast fit for a king (and queen) the next morning to send us on our way.  Stunning, convenient and very repeatable. Top marks Rhins of Galloway.

An absolutely fabulous experience from start to finish. An unexpectedly great find. More like a boutique hotel than guest house. Room was larger than expected and very well appointed. Facilities were excellent, breakfast was fantastic. Can’t recommend highly enough.

Outstanding!! From the best friendliest check in to an amazing room. Loved the little touches in the room and everything has been thought of including bottle opener and wine glasses!! A 10/10

Rhins of Galloway is a fantastic place and so convenient for the ferry port. We stayed for 2 nights, Friday and Tuesday either side of a trip to Ireland.  The owners are very welcoming,  friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble for them. Suite 1 is a large bedroom,  good sized lounge and a well appointed shower room. It was so comfortable.  The whole place is spotless. I've stayed in some quite high end places in my time and none were cleaner than Rhins. The linen is very good quality,  the towels are thick and fluffy, they even put out a little pair of scissors to make it easier to open the tea /coffee bags. They supply you with a flask of milk on arrival so you don't have to put up with those awful pots of UHT. 
Our breakfast was absolutely delicious. Good quality produce is everything and it was cooked to perfection.  There's good menu choices plus all the other things you would expect like cereal,  toast, fruit,  yoghurt,  juices. 
The price of the stay is very competitive and for what you get they could easily charge more. 
I really don't think I can say enough about Rhins. I have no hesitation in recommending it.

Lovely room & best  breakfast anywhere!

Perfect, really ideal stay

A wonderful place to stay that is convenient for the ferry

Amazing 5 star experience!!

Absolutely fantastic place to stay. 

Stayed in the absolutely beautiful Gloucester Suite and one of our 2 top favourite accomodations of our entire 6.5 weeks holiday around UK and Ireland.  Other accommodation providers could certainly learn a lot about what travellers want and need from these 2 friendly hosts. Unfortunately we only had 1 night here as we had to catch the early morning ferry to Belfast.  Would love to come back and stay longer.

Awesome accommodation.

 I don't often do reviews but making an exception in this case. This was the second time we have stayed at Rhins of Galloway, this time in the Garden Room for four nights.  Cannot fault it! Each time we had beautifully clean, roomy and comfortable accommodation.  I would call it five star! The owners were brilliant and very friendly. Nice touches like fresh milk for the room and nothing too much trouble.  Very good cooked breakfast with lots of choice. The previous time we left a phone charger there and it arrived at home by post shortly after we got back.
 The place is very handy for the Belfast ferries which are just up the road (not that we used them but mentioning for anyone wanting to) We go to visit friends and hope to go again next spring. 

The best B&B I have ever stayed in!

We stayed here at the end of our holiday and what a pleasure it was. This is by far the best guest accommodation we have stayed at in a long time. Totally faultless . The accommodation is immaculate and very tasteful. The attention to detail faultless and the view we had over the field behind was lovely. The tea/coffee tray definitely the best by far of any we have experienced, so thoughtfully put together. Our breakfast was exquisite, wrest quality ingredients, perfectly cooked and beautifully presented. 
This is a real treat, either to start your journey to Ireland or to round it off. Highly recommended and a huge thank you to our hosts.

Outstanding accommodation, food and lovely hosts

This was a great place fo us to stay as we were getting an early ferry to Ireland the next morning. It was just sad we couldn't enjoy breakfast as we left before it started.
The welcome was lovely and especially great was the small flask of milk given at reception for our tea and coffee, really appreciated that. We loved the size of our room and the assistance in finding the right place for dinner that evening. We will definitely stay here again.

A perfect place to stop

An exceptional overnight stay before catching the Stenna. Our suite (Churchill) was very well appointed. Good sized living room with fridge, comfortable seats and large TV. Big bedroom with a very comfortable bed and another large TV. All including the bathroom were spotless. 

Breakfast was outstanding in every way even down to the pair of scissors on every table in order to open those annoying sauce sachets. Great food, freshly cooked. Ample parking and only a few minutes from the pier. 
Highly recommended.
