Rhins of Galloway

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.

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.

Very impressed with the attention to detail. Offered a flask of milk at reception on arrival. Would definitely recommend for stopover for early Ferry crossing.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Quaint, comfortable, clean, fun decor, great breakfast! BUT, best part were the very personable owners Paul and John! Enjoyed the stay very much. We went to the local pub for dinner. Great night before we had to catch the ferry! Definitely recommend!
