a very warm welcome by staff and the open fire. Atmosphere was brilliant as was the decor. The menu was very food - though there were no fish dishes. I had slow cooked dice lamb - it was excellent.

We stayed for three nights and I can honestly say that I've never felt more welcome or been looked after so well. Ruth and Ian are friendly and helpful. Our rooms were warm and comfortable. The food was delicious and there was plenty of choice. It's a fantastic place to stay for anyone considering a birdwatching holiday or short break,... More

We have stayed at many locations throughout the country but none more welcoming than here. Ruth and Ian are more than happy to recieve you and bend over backwards to make sure that all your needs are met. The food and service are second to none, providing a range of homecooked comforting food prepared by Ruth's fair own hands. Ian... More

In the morning we sat and watched a flurry of birds from our bedroom window and lost count of the species we spotted. If you stay on Tuesday evening they have a pub... More

It is in the village of Kirkcolm in a beautiful location near the shore of Loch Ryan, about 7 miles from Stranraer, and an ideal base for exploring NW Galloway. We were greeted warmly by Ian and Ruth and shown to our... More

Really didn't know what to expect, but what awaited us was fabulous. Ian came out to greet us and tell... More

We've stayed overnight in Stranraer for the Belfast ferries on a number of occasions, but 15 minutes from the Stena terminal is a gem of a B&B: The Blue Peter in Kirkcolm. This was our second stay here - and once again the real ale, real fire and red squirrels didn't disappoint! Ian and Ruth, the hosts, made us feel... More
