Very friendly and exceptional clean.

All extremely clean tidy a pleasure to walk into. Elaine was helpful polite all great. Central fish & chips excellent thanks to Elaine giving us good directions
Everything was lovely
Everything about this accomodation was 10/10 from breakfast to shower to cleanliness. Really nice place to stay!
Very comfortable and clean, ideal location
Nothing
Convenient for town, ( cafés etc) and also for ferry
The location, the breakfast was good
Needs updating
We had a wonderful stay. Very comfy, spotlessly clean, and a free wee dram. 10/10
Small en-suite with wash hand basin in bedroom. Defective light above basin.
Wir haben das B&B auf dem Heimweg von Irland über GB nach Deutschland genutzt. Es liegt perfekt mitten in der Stadt an einer Hauptstraße, ist aber trotzdem sehr ruhig! Die Kommunikation - wir konnten Fähre bedingt erst um 10 p.m dort sein - lief sehr gut. Das B&B hatte sich super darauf eingestellt. Danke auch für den "Absacker"! Die Zimmer und Dusche/WC waren gut und sauber! Das Frühstück war sehr gut - alles da, was man braucht. Das B&B ist sehr gut geeignet für Zwischenübernachtungen, aber sicher auch für ein paar Nächte vor Ort! Strand und Sportmöglichkeiten liegen direkt dem B&B gegenüber und sind top gepflegt. Eine schöne Ecke... Also: Klare Übernachtungsempfehlung von uns! Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder!
Nix zu meckern! :-)
Elaine was exceptionally helpful and welcoming. The rooms and beds were comfortable and clean. Our breakfast was delicious. Would definitely recommend.
Our room was actually a lovely little suite of 3 rooms including a separate lounge with little decanter of whisky. Suite was up 2 floors Enjoyed full Scottish breakfast though plenty of other choices. Could choose time of breakfast Free on street parking right outside the guesthouse. Hosts very helpful.
Nothing.
Very convenient Good breakfast
All was good
The room, accessed from an akward section of steps was small with no real view, but very comfotable, clean and tastefully decorated. The whisky was a nice touch! Breakfast was extremely well cooked and served hot.
Nothing really. I could only get 'catch-up' TV but I did not question this, I think the reception in the area was poor as I found in other accomodation in the town. However this was not a major issue, the room was not the reason for staying.
Warm welcome. Good breakfast
Nothing
Great location. Well presented. Great value for money
The room and ensuite are quite small
Un petit havre de paix au calme au bord de l’eau . La gentillesse et la disponibilité de l hôte , un confort très appréciable. Petit déjeuner super .
Tout était parfait
Hôte très accueillante. Joli guest house, face à la mer, et très belle vue depuis la chambre. Tout près du centre-ville et de ses magasins. Chambre très accueillante, bien conçue. Nous avions même un petit salon privatif avec télévision, puis salle de bain et chambre. De petites attentions appréciables pour l'accueil... Prix extra-raisonnable pour ces prestations. Nous reviendrons avec plaisir si nous repassons dans le coin.
Le lit simple de la chambre familial qui s'affaisse et gêne pour un bon sommeil
Estancia muy cómoda, todo limpio y decorado con mucho gusto.
Nada.
Elaine our hostess was super friendly and helpful. Great cooked breakfast with lots of choice. Plenty of on street parking immediately outside the property. Excellent value.
Attentive host. Very comfortable location near sea front. Close to high street in a quiet area.
Nothing
We had such a lovely stay and perfect having the 2 rooms together, so our 14 year daughter could have her own space. The beds were super comfortable and the cooked scottish breakfast was so fresh and delicious. Very friendly host. Would highly recommend. Thank you 😊
Location isn't the best but the B&B made our stay great.
We had a very comfortable night at Lakeview Guest House before boarding the ferry to Ireland. Our hosts were very friendly and even left a dram of whisky in a decanter with glasses for a nightcap which was a wonderful gesture. They also gave us a good recommendation for a local restaurant for our evening meal which was excellent. Breakfast was delcitious and we left feeling very well rested before our ferry crossing.
Nothing
The room was compact with every convenience. A fridge and generous amount of whisky, much to my husband's delight. The beds were comfortable and en suite shower good. The breakfast was freshly cooked to order and the dining chairs so comfortable. Would stay again without hesitation.
Nothing to dislike
Owners very nice and room very clean and good food
Everything . Great location ,very friendly welcome , spotless rooms , great warm shower , a nice welcome dram in the room . Very fair pricing . Breakfast was fantastic everything you could want and served with a nice friendly face .
Nothing.
Room was fantastic. I say room - we had the whole top floor which consisted of 3 rooms, bedroom, living area and bathroom. All 3 rooms had a sink which was very handy. Lots of space, comfortable, very clean. Breakfast was excellent - catered for all our needs. Lovely hosts. Excellent location for the Ferry. Would definitely stay again.
Can't think of anything that could have been better for our stay.
Lovley room at the back of the property, comfy bed, tea,coffe and a wee dram to enjoy :D
The water didn't get very warm in the hand basin so I didn't attempt a shower.
We received a very warm welcome and felt completely at home throughout our stay. The hosts were exceptionally friendly and attentive, and the rooms were clean and cosy. Thank you for such a pleasant stay – we would be delighted to return!

A short but delightful stay!
Location was great
Lovely friendly hosts. A wee dram of whisky on the bedside table was a lovely thoughtful thing to do (although I don't drink). Comfortable bed, access to tea and coffee and plenty of milk. Located next to the sea.
Nothing
Well cared-for decor, beautiful carpets, exceptionally clean throughout, space to move around the bedroom, and a lovely en suite in a novel setting.
Nothing.
We loved the hostess. She was super nice and accommodating. I had handwashed some clothing and she was very agreeable to our request to tumble dry for us, since it hadn't dried well overnight.
the stairs were a little steep for our short, elderly legs, but the rooms and hostess were worth the climb for us.
Location perfect for the ferry and breakfast was one of the best we have had. Will certainly book again.
Everything was great. The room was clean and cleaned daily. The fridge in the room was a great bonus as was the whisky! The breakfast set us up for the day wonderfully. Elaine and Alan were very welcoming, helpful and lovely hosts.
Nothing.
The location for me travelling by motorcycle was ideal with free off road parking opposite. Elaine recommended a good place for an evening meal which was a 10 minute walk away. After an early start a 730am breakfast was requested and fulfilled. The accommodation is very well decorated, exceptionally clean with my single ensuite room of a very high standard. I would recommend this accommodation unreservedly.
Nothing.
Schönes familiäres B&B. Sehr freundlicher Empfang und nette Gastgeberin. Super leckeres Frühstück.
The cute little room, the comfiest bed and pillows. Loved the highland coo pics everywhere
Everything was too our liking
Hosts were very conscientious, greeting on arrival, showing us into our room.It was lovely to have a fridge with milk and cold water as well as a wee drama of whisky by the bed. Breakfast was delicious offering a wide choice.
Not a thing
Schönes Zimmer, tolle Gastgeberin mit guten Tipps
Everything… our host was friendly and welcoming. Even picked us from the bus stop . Room comfortable and spotless. Nice breakfast. Would highly recommend this B & B .
Large and spacious top floor to ourselves which was clean and the bed was extremely comfortable.Very accommodating as we arrived late. Breakfast was great and just what we needed after a long trek
Stairs a little steep to the top floor but worth the climb up for the quality of the rooms
Everything! Elaine was so wonderful helping me find transportation from the port. The lodging is beautiful and she is such an endearing person. I wish I could stay longer.
Nothing. Everything was perfect!

The breakfast was excellent. The room and beds were very comfortable and clean. Liked the thoughtful touch of the whisky but more appreciated was the warm and friendly welcome. The host was always attentive to our needs and we would come again. Thank-you.

We stayed here for a night prior to sailing to Larne. Lakeview Guest House is in an excellent location, above and beyond in cleanliness and appearance, very good room comforts, and very pleasant and warm welcome by owner, everything was great. We were greeted by Elaine as we got out the car with a warm friendly welcome, water milk tea and coffee facilities available even a dram at the side of the bed. Place was spotless and well looked after, decor is gorgeous, bed very comfortable, breakfast was also very good given a menu choice upon arrival and expected time of breakfast and everything was catered to our choices and also offered extras on time. Would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a booking in Stranraer.

Prettige kamer, precies wat we geboekt hadden
Excellent service, Excellent breakfast.... Catered for our Gluten Free diet
Nothing
Friendly welcome. and very professionally run guest house. Comfortable room to rear of hotel. Great Scottish breakfast. Located in nice area opposite loch and park. Easy on street parking. Very convenient for Cairnryan ferries to Northern Ireland
Hosts excellent, friendly. Breakfast excellent. Room, excellent. Friendly and nicely appointed. Lovely bathroom too. The bed was comfy and held the sleeper a bit like a nice cocoon. But for my personal taste I do like a harder mattress. But no fault with what was there. Good sleep. Sadly I did not allocate time to visit adjacent amenities such as the beach/shore areas.
That I had to leave.
The host was very welcoming and helpful. Breakfast was excellent. The B&B is very well equipped and maintained in a pristine condition.
We stayed in a twin room; while having every facility one might require, the room is small and a bit cramped. However, fine for an overnight stay.
Lovely place able to accommodate our large family group, very clean and well equipped. Hosts very welcoming and friendly. Great breakfast freshly cooked for each person. Would definitely book again

Spacious rooms, tea and coffee on hand, close to Cairnryan for the ferry, parking on road beside the entrance, restaurants and pubs a short walk away. It was great!
We stayed for only one night and it was perfect for us. It was all good.
Handy location for town centre and public transport. Spotlessly clean. Despite being on a main road the guest house was very quiet. The owner was very kind and took an interest in the guests.
Lovely hosts... delicious breakfast...
Nothing
Very friendly, helpful staff who go above and beyond. Thank you very much for making our stay so enjoyable and for organising our transport to the ferry. Great location. Very clean and comfortable rooms with a wonderful breakfast.
We loved everything about Lakeview
Everything-We couldn’t fault this guest house. Beds were comfy and our room (no 3 family room) was spotless and spacious. The host was professional and friendly and breakfast was lovely. It was also good value for money. Would recommend staying here and would definitely stay again if in the area.
Comfortable and accommodating
Rooms are well arranged,
Very clean. Airy room. Friendly hosts. Good breakfast.
A lovely welcome from Elaine, and a pleasant surprise ...a small tumbler of Scotch Whisky and 2 glasses to sample
EXCEPTIONAL! Elaine was incredibly helpful, room was beautiful, spacious. Lots of extra touches such as cold water, Tunnocks tea cakes, whisky. Spotless bathroom. Decor beautiful throughout. Breakfast was excellent, great value for money.
Pity wasn't staying another night.
Amazing hosts! Beautiful property and even better breakfast. Loved the wee whiskey nightcap available for people 😀
There's nothing we didn't like.

We stayed for one night before getting ferry from Cairnryan. Guest house in a good location, owners were friendly and helpful. Rooms were a good size and clean. Nice touch including fresh milk in fridge in room. Breakfast lovely able to confirm night before what you wanted. Easy to park, can park on street or car park opposite which is free. Would recommend as a place to stay.
This place is lovely. So many personal touches, and all by a person with obvious warmth and great taste. Elaine, our host, was so lovely and welcoming.
Breakfast was absolutely brilliant great choice,and well presented. The location was great for getting around and seeing lots of interesting features.

Centrally located at the sea/loch front. Parking directly outside - or available in the car park across the road My single room was compact, comfortable, modern and spotlessly clean. Cordial welcome with an efficient check in process and good options for breakfast. Excellent value for money. The dram of whisky and the mini fridge in the room with fresh milk and water were lovely touches which made the Lakeview stand out compared to a couple of other places I've used in Stranraer. I wouldn't hesitate to return.
Wir wurden von Elaine sehr freundlich aufgenommen und auf unseren Wunsch mit Ratschlägen versorgt (Dinner). Das Frühstück wurde auf die individuellen Wünsche ausgerichtet
Everything
Only one negative was the water pressure in the shower but we was top floor which may have had made a difference. Otherwise absolutely spot on, thank you
Great location and facilities. Very well looked after with thoughtful touches
Nothing
It was my third stay at the Lakeview Guest House and I definitely would recommend it as a great place to stay at. Elaine was as friendly as ever and the location is perfect for both walking along the shore and exploring nearby attractions.
The room that I was staying at was on the small side, but it was manageable. A very comfy bed more than made up for it anyway.
Everything was perfect, we had the whole top floor and it was amazing.
Great host! Perfect vegan cooked breakfast. Secure bike storage. Fabulous accommodation well located for exploring. Great welcome dram!

I was contacted by Elaine several days before my stay to confirm my arrival time and provide some travel directions and parking guidance. When I arrived, I managed to park on the street more or less at the front door. Not that parking was ever going to be an issue with a huge public car park directly across the road with both car park and on street parking being free. Upon arrival, I was met by Alan who kindly got me booked in and shown to my room. This place has a Tardis like affect! Not much to look at from the outside but you're eyes are immediately opened when you get inside. Not what I was expecting and pleasantly surprised. I was travelling for work and had a single room with ensuite shower room. The room was clean, spacious enough for my needs and the bed was very comfortable. I slept well throughout my 2 night stay. Plenty of complementary tea & coffee in the room as well as a small decanter of whisky if you're so inclined! A very nice touch although I didn't partake! Decoration throughout, including my room has a feel of a higher end Scottish themed hotel. It was quirky and homely. Breakfast was nothing less than fantastic and cooked to perfection and both Elaine & Alan were very friendly and engaging.The perfect hosts. For overalls value and just about everything else you could need for a stay in Stranraer, you'll be hard pressed to get better than Lakeview Guest House.
There was nothing not to like. This place exceeded expectations.
