Our stay at The Auld Cairn was barely 12 hours. That said, the proprietor was friendly, the room was clean and had a great shower, and the bed was very comfortable --exactly what we needed after a long day of travel. The only word of caution: The restaurant next door was closed and we had no vehicle so our only... More

Our room was at the front and there was some traffic noise but not too bad. Comfortable room. Excellent breakfast which you have next door at the Merchants House. Also had a very good evening meal there. Just a few minutes drive to either Stena or P&O Ferries departure points for Northern Ireland. Would stay again.

we stayed here last week and can throughly recommend it. Our room was clean, bright and airy with loads of space. We ate next door at the Merchants House, the food was great. Its a great place to stay and visit the surrounding area. or it is of course only minutes away from the ferry terminal.

This B and B is well placed for ferry departures to Ireland.The room we were given was a good size with a view of the loch,it is only 500 metres from the port.It was very quiet when we were there.The price was fair.We would stay there again when visiting this part of Scotland.
