The Swan Inn is a former coaching inn that has had some of its rooms sympathetically and cleverly converted into modern self-contained accommodation. The results are superb and it is a really cool place to stay. It is very convenient for all of Stranraer's attractions, especially the seafront, parks and town centre. Stranraer is stunningly beautiful with incredible sea views, beachfront walks, coastal walks and walks around the marina and pier. The two days I spent there were warm and sunny which such a wonderful location even more appealing. Go and spend some time there - you will totally love it!
I didn't like the fact that there was another guest who walked her dog late at night and very early in the morning. It was creepy to be woken up by the dog snarling and the sound of its paws dragging along the hall corridor in the dead of night. Also this particular guest also tended to shout and talk loudly to other people (staff/other guests?) also late at night and into the early hours of the morning. I appreciate that dogs need to be walked but preferably without disturbing other guests.

If you need comfortable, competitively priced accommodation in connection with a Cairnryan ferry, the Swan Inn is the place for you! Our room was spacious and clean and every member of staff was really helpful and friendly (Laura, I believe, with apologies for forgetting any names). Because the Swan welcomes many guests who are using the port, check-out at any hour is made really easy with a key drop box. In summary, our stay was excellent value all round.

The room was spacious and clean, with tea and coffee facilities plus complimentary biscuits. It was lovely and cosy on arrival, and there was plenty of space for our dog to sleep too. Staff were very friendly and showed us promptly to the room. The location was perfect for an overnight before catching the ferry to Ireland, and in close proximity to a lovely park. We didn't spend much time in the bar, but it seemed busy with a good atmosphere.
The room is situated at the top of a metal staircase (to the fire escape) so we could hear the guests in the next room coming and going, and we were very conscious of making noise ourselves leaving early for the ferry. The bed was fairly comfortable, but the springs in the mattress were very loud and twanged every time one of us turned over!

Clean, comfortable accommodation. Friendly welcome at reception. Good-sized room, with a double bed and two single beds which would make it a very good (and great value) option for a family group. Approx 20 minute walk from Stranraer town centre. The sea front was two or three minutes' walk on the opposite side of the road, with pleasant views across towards Cairnryan. Agnew Park was close by, which had a little lake with seating around it to relax. Free on-the-road parking approx 50 yards from the premises. Overall, it did the job perfectly well for a two-night stay.
The shower. The cubicle was spacious, but the water pressure wasn't great (I'm acknowledging here that the room is in an elevated part of the premises furthest away from the bar area, which might have an effect on the water pressure) and it wasn't easy to regulate the water temperature to a comfortable level.

Ideal place to stay for an overnight after coming off the Cairnryan ferry from belfast. Room was comfy and spacious (3 beds) and the bathroom was clean and warm. (I hate cold bathrooms) The communication was excellent as our fery was delayed and they stayed open to accommodate our late arrival. Thank you!
Although it didn't bother us as we arrived late and left early these rooms are attached to a pub which I guess might be noisy. Everything else was fine.

Close to town- easy access to rooms- very friendly staff- nothing to much trouble for them to make your stay pleasant- Rooms comfortable clean Nick and his staff are lovely people and always at hand to help. Very welcoming and a joy to sit in the bar to eat- food the first evening was lovely - Susan bar staff was so helpful and friendly welcomed us in and let us have our dogs in the bar to wonder around- Made us feel part of the locals- both evenings sat in the bar we sat with the locals and had a laugh- fully recommend a stay here will defo return
There wasn’t anything-

Although we arrived very close to when their kitchen closed (pub stayed open later), Nick offered us the full menu. The food was very good & it was easy for everyone in our party of 5 to find something that pleased them. It was a single block from a nice walking path along the water & a park close by with play equipment for children.
There was a bit of a mix-up with one of our 3 rooms, & my mother ended up having a rm upstairs, which wasn't ideal. However, the owner was super nice & apologized for the inconvenience.

It had exactly what I needed, the bed was incredibly comfy! Was only there for a night and it was a perfectly pleasant stay. The shower was good, the room was easy to access, didn't have to go through the bar (other than to check in of course). I was only there to sleep so It was perfectly good, and close to portpatrick which was beautiful and a great place to spend time
Nothing really, you get what you pay for, the price was perfectly reasonable for what you get.

The rooms were absolutely spotless and the staff were amazing. Went out of their way to help and get us anything we needed. Everyone was extremely helpful. Thank you! We had an evening meal in the pub and the food was absolutely gorgeous. Great location and great for travelling on the ferry.
The mattresses were quite uncomfortable but that is the only fault. Everything else was excellence.

Lovely little room, had everything we needed for 1 nights stay. Bed was a little soft for my taste but that said, after a day in the sun I was ready for bed and slept well. We didn't have any food at the Inn but did enjoy a drink or two. Great location, only a short walk to the local shops and park. My son loved the train ride and go karting at Agnew Park.
