Firstly apologies to Tim and Hilary for delay in writing this, and readers should not draw any conclusions from this. I stayed at Hawthorn House on a short break before a very few busy weeks of work, which have only now been completed. This B&B was a real find and recommended to me by another in the area that I... more

We received a warm welcome from Ted as we arrived for a golfing break, and then we met Hilary & Tim for another warm welcome! Nothing was too much trouble, all facilities were exceptional and the personal touch was evident. The breakfasts matched any provided by top hotels. A very homely B & B with very amiable hosts who welcomed... more

Service is excellent with special touches like homemade shortbread and fresh milk on the hospitality tray and a delicious and generous breakfast. The ensuite bedroom and one of the doubles has stunning seaviews. The beds are very comfortable and the bathroom luxurious. The village is quiet and traditional but does have a very highly thought of restaurant that is often... more

We have just returned from Hawthorn House where we were lucky enough to stay for 4 nights. Tim and Hilary are really friendly and helpful and it felt like "home from home". (Ted is really cute and so well behaved). We had never been to this area before and it is beautiful. Our rooms were very clean and the beds... more

We were offered two rooms at an excellent rate. They were very comfortable with everything we needed and with added home made shortbread. Tom and Hiliary went out of their way to help us with the onward journey to Whithorn insisting on providing transport to Whithorn in view of our rather excessive walk of 25 miles from Stranraer on the... more

This is a wonderful B&B in an outstanding location. Our hosts Tim & Hilary (and their dog, Ted) were incredibly welcoming, and the room was large, beautfully decorated, and boasted a dramatic sea view. The room was very plesant to spend time in, and there is also a large sitting room downstairs. Breakfasts (including generous quantities) of coffee were freshly-prepared... more

We cannot rate this B and B highly enough. A lovely friendly welcome awaited our arrival, The house was then handed over to us as the owners had a previous engagement. We had the run of the house to ourselves (which does not have to be locked, the area is so safe). Although our bedroom did not have en-suite facilities,it... more

They were very friendly to us (and to the dog!), as was Ted! We are really looking forward to returning for some more R and R, its the perfect place for... more
