Guests say
Blair Terrace is a spacious and comfortable cottage in Stranraer, appreciated for its great location and views. Guests enjoyed the ample room, cosy lounge, and friendly atmosphere, making it an ideal stay for groups and families. Some minor maintenance issues were noted, but the overall experience was positive, with many looking forward to returning.
The property received mixed feedback on cleanliness. One review mentioned it could be cleaner, noting dust and improperly cleaned crockery, while another praised the immaculate condition. This suggests variability in cleaning standards between stays.
The location is highly praised for its wonderful views and proximity to the harbour and local amenities. It is considered a great spot for a variety of activities, contributing to a memorable stay.
The comfort of Blair Terrace is well-regarded, with guests finding the property spacious and the beds super comfortable. The cosy lounge and the property's suitability for a range of age groups highlight its comfort.
Facilities are generally good, with a well-equipped kitchen and comfortable bedrooms. However, there were issues with showers and a missing light cord. The property was also double-booked once, causing concern.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts. Therefore, this category cannot be scored.
