What people say
Ideally located as a stop over for the Cairnryan or Stranraer ferry ports this BandB offers great value for money. Helpful, welcoming staff. Recently refurbished to a high standard offering comfortable and clean accommodation. Easy car parking. Excellent buffet breakfast or a cooked breakfast done to order. Large comfortable lounge area available. Some interesting history to the site too. Everything was great - even a proper vegetarian breakfast! The hotel was spotlessly clean and had a warm feel about it. Everthing in the room worked as it should and there were some thoughtful and useful touches such as fresh milk if required rather than those UHT pots. The owners were friendly and very helpful and I would definitely stay here again when in the area.all reviews »

Information about the area
The building is surrounded by lawns that are frequented by hare, rabbits, pheasants and a huge variety of other birds. Across the road is a small embankment which used to carry the Cairnryan Military railway, beyond which is a beach, mostly pebble, but with sandy areas. The coastline can be walked along to Stranraer.
The mild climate has given rise to several botanic gardens in the area, including Logan Botanic Garden, advertised as Scotland's most exotic garden, a 25 minute drive away. Castle Kennedy, with its glorious walled gardens and monkey puzzle avenue is less than 10 minutes away, and the magnificent Culzean Castle and country park is about a 45 minute drive.
The area is ideal for walking and general relaxation. The picturesque fishing village of Portpatrick is a 15 minute drive, and Galloway Forest Park, Britain's largest forest park, is only 30 minutes away.
The position also makes Rhins an ideal overnight accommodation for travellers using the Stena Line ferries from Stranraer and the P&O ferries from Cairnryan, and provides a wonderful place from which to spend longer enjoying the unspoilt beauty of the area.
