We spent a night here en route to Ireland, and were very happy with the experience. The room was large, pleasant, and clean - and the same was true of the ensuite bathroom. The bed was comfortable, and we slept well. We were asked the night before what we wanted for breakfast, and the hot breakfast was exactly as ordered,... more

Fernlea Guest House is a great place to stay if you are traveling by ferry to Ireland from the Stranraer Port. The beds are very good quality and comfortable, bathrooms large and spotlessly clean, and the hosts are friendly and very accommodating. You will only be about 10 min from the Ferry dock so early morning trips to Ireland are... more

We found Fernlea Guest House purely by accident and I am so glad that we did. We travel over to Ireland in the summer every year and for the past four years we have been staying overnight at the Fernlea in Stranraer, before getting the ferry to Ireland. Lynn and Kenny are the perfect hosts. Nothing is too much trouble... more

We stayed at the Fernlea Guest House again this year en route to Belfast. We weren't disappointed, after a long cold journey it's nice to arrive somewhere so clean, warm and welcoming. We'd recommend Fernlea to anybody staying in the area or using the ferries to Ireland. Thanks again Lynn and Kenny Gordon & Sue more

We just came back from 2 weeks in Scotland and Ireland. Everyone was extremely friendly, but the nicest person we encountered was Lynn at Fernlea House. She offered dining suggestions in town, but also talked to us about local life, and asked about our lives. What television shows people in Scotland watch, the price of cable TV, how few American... more

We had the good fortune to stay in this very well-appointed and most comfortable b&b when on business near Stranraer. We can highly recommend this accommodation - from the friendly welcome by Lynn and Kenny to the lovely breakfast (which came back to haunt us during the dance workshops we were delivering that morning!). And the tariff was very good... more

My partner and I stayed one night and vowed we'd be back. Kenny and Lynn made us feel so welcome - even though our football team (East Fife) beat the local side! The room was excellent, a good size and immaculately presented while the en suite facilities were bigger than some hotel bedrooms I've stayed in. Breakfast was first class... more

This was our third visit to Fernlea (1999, 2001, and 2007). Each time we have enjoyed a friendly welcome with clean and comfortable accomodations. Our hosts, Lynn and Kenny, are always most anxious to assist in any way needed. This time we had just spent the day on several trains coming down from Edinburg so we were very grateful for... more

Unfortunately I have to give this establishment the worst review I've ever written. We had booked through a travel agent and our "voucher" stated we needed to call before 6:00pm if we were going to be late. We were in Edinburgh that day and my husband badly sprained his ankle. After a 3 hour hospital trip we finally left for... more
