    His wife was a little more withdrawn. We were sitting in the bar, only ones in the bar at the time except for some teenagers playing pool, when suddenly the huge television above our heads went on and the landlady leaned on the bar watching. the children's cartoons!! We left the bar and went to bed.

    As soon as we arrived, the owner took great care of us and was extremely helpful. He said that if we had a problem with anything, to go straight to him and he would do his utmost to fix it.

    The only fault I have with this place is our tv in room was only 22 inch tiny when on bed watching it felt as if I was straining my eyes to see it

    Great property very comfortable excellent hosts very friendly couldn’t do enough for you there wasn’t a fridge in our room so they let us put our drinks etc in a small fridge they had downstairs,didn’t hear other guests at all met them in morning at breakfast rooms were lovely beds very comfortable the homemade cookies were a great touch and although there was instant coffee tea etc in our room we were kindly asked if want cafetière of coffee which I accepted was lush,also on arrival we were presented with a breakfast menu and we were to choose all that we wanted from it so we took it up to our room filled them in and returned them and on arrival at breakfast our feast was brought out freshly made so friendly and kind highly recommend this place

    If I had one thought, it would be to have a small fan in the room for the summer period (room 3), as the window didn't appear to open but that may have been my incompetence!😅.

    Very nice place. Really clean and tidy! Room was well laid out. The host ( can't remember her name, sorry) but was lovely and was completely welcoming, providing cookies and fresh milk for the tea and coffee facilities! And also suggested a lovely walk in the area, which I wouldn't have realised had she not mentioned it! Couldn't fault it bar the window not opening. It exceeded my expectations as it was cheap and a great location for the ferry!

    This is our third visit to Corsewall Arms. We find it very comfortable and peaceful. There are few amenities in Kirkcolm itself, but we like the location because of the coastal walking. We can also recommend Jo's breakfasts 🙂

    We were on the top floor, which wasn't a problem for us - but not good if you have mobility problems.

    Well looked after during our stay (even providing a chilled ice bucket for our room!). Actual milk provided for your cuppa! The breakfast choices were excellent, beautifully cooked and made with quality ingredients. Location - easy to find and within yards of the 'Blue Peter'- a local traditional pub. Had fish and chips -(home made chips - which were excellent). Brilliant stopover if you are getting a ferry over to Ireland.

    It was absolutely lovely, and unfortunately we only stayed one night, but would have liked to stay longer. The host was absolutely lovely, very welcoming, the rooms were perfect. We only used the hotel because we were on the ferry the next day, which was a shame as we would have enjoyed staying longer if we could have.

    If I could give a higher mark for the staff, I would. Honestly, Jo is amazing, made my stay very relaxing and comfortable, making sure I had everything I could possibly need. While I never met Sam, thank you for my little treats! Those biscuits were amazing and going out of your way to make them vegan, thank you! Cute little sleepy town, perfect distance from Stranraer and Portpatrick - a stunning little town with great coastal and woodland walks. There's a picnic area just down the road, along the waters edge. Street parking outside the B&B was easy and free. I didn't struggle to find a spot. Stranraer is a disc zone parking town (I was not aware of this). However, there is a large free carpark along the foreshore. You will be well looked after here.

    Warm welcome from Jo. Really comfortable and well appointed room. The home made cookies were a lovely touch as was the offer of wine glasses as there was nowhere in the village to go for a drink and we took our own. Breakfast was absolutely delicious and tailored to what we wanted. Jo could not do enough to make our stay memorable. Highly recommend!

    Somewhere for an evening meal within walking distance would have been great. Not the fault of Sam & Jo. Less than wonderful meal in Stranraer despite pleasant service.

    Early departure so didn’t experience fullly. However, appreciated home made cookies, coffee and tea facilities.

    The owner was lovely and seemed to be running it by herself. Very homely with freshly made cookies in the room and the smell of freshly made bread wafting up in the stairs in the early evening ready for the following mornings breakfast. Yum!
