Cute and clean home. Bathroom seemed to be recently renovated, bed was very comfortable. Friendly hosts, yummy breakfast, excellent source of information about the ferry (which made a HUGE difference in our travels). It was a short stay but a lovely one. Thanks Lynn & Ken!!

We can be fussy folk, but there was no need to be at Fernlea because it easily ticked all of our boxes. Convenient and easy-to-find location, well-appointed accommodation, very friendly (but not pushy) hosts with good local advice, scrumptious breakfast options (including haggis!), cosy, comfortable, quiet and at a price that wont break the bank. In fact, it's a great... More

Just to say that if anyone is either travelling across the sea to Northern Ireland or just having a holiday in Stranraer Scotland then the Fernlea B & B is just the job. We stayed there on the 23rd Dec as we were traveling over on the ferry the next day to see the grandchildren in NI. Fernlea is perfect... More

I arrived to a very warm welcome and was shown by Lynn to a beautifully decorated and immaculately clean room. It has a TV, tea and coffee stand with biscuits and a huge bathroom. The shower isn't just clean it's polished up like new! Breakfast was delicious! Had my first try at haggis which I enjoyed. I wish I could... More

We stayed at Fernlea whilst visiting elderly relatives in Stranraer. Fernlea was outstanding - it was spotlessly clean with the room in a great decorative order. The bed linen was crisp and white. The shower was great, very large and again so clean. Breakfast was very fresh with the best eggs ever, very creamy. Good to get haggis which is... More
