Just back from a fantastic night to staying at the Lakeview. My husband and I were in Stranraer for a wedding, we couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. We were warmly welcomed on our arrival even though we were a little earlier than expected. Our room was very nicely decorated, full of home comforts, beds were very... More

This is how a B&B should be. Very warm and friendly welcome. Excellent room, comfortable bed with the decor and furniture that bit more than the norm. The breakfast was good and very well presented with a large choice. I would highly recommended this B&B It’s better than some 4 star hotels I’ve been in.

I've stayed at Lakeview many many times over the last 12 months and each time it has been a positive experience. Elaine & Alan do all they can to make you feel welcome and comfortable, and really do go that extra mile to ensure your experience is perfect. I highly recommended this guesthouse and everything about it.

I stayed here in June 2012 when my mum carried the Olympic Torch. The rooms were excellent - highly furbished with excellent quality items. There was even mineral water and pillow chocolate in there :) Breakfast was well-prepared by the excellent and friendly staff. You've got a good choice of food in there. Would highly recommend to anyone heading to/through... More

Absolutely loved this B&B! One of my most favourite B&B's I've ever been to. The hosts were delightful, the rooms decorated to perfection and the beds blissfully comfortable. The external gardens were a delight to look out on as well. Great proximity to the ferry terminal and the local shops, as well as the awesome little fun fair across the... More

Friendly and helpful, well appointed room and an excellent breakfast. Would highly recommend. Thank you! Tried haggis for the first time and was pleasantly surprised. Would also recommend the sun ki restaurant a five minute walk away from the b and b for a first rate Chinese meal. All great after an 8 hour journey.

We booked for one night before taking the ferry from Cairnryan. We had a very pleasant stay in this lovely B&B, and enjoyed a nice full Scottish breakfast (of course there are other options as well) the next morning. Our room en suite was spacious, clean and comfortable with coffe making facilities and a nice view towards coast and local... More

Very friendly, clean, good value B&B. Yes, my single room wasn't huge but it had everything I needed. Would definitely use again if I had to catch the red eye ferry to Belfast. [The port's only ten minutes away.]
