 North
West Castle opened its doors to guests in 1962. The first of five
hotels now owned by the McMillan family, it has played an active
part in the life of the town of Stranraer ever since. Renowned for
the warmth of its welcome, guests return to the "Castle"
as to an old friend. The Residents Lounge commands views of the
whole length of Loch Ryan, and in the original windows little
apertures on hinges can still be found, through which a telescope
could be inserted, giving a clear view of the shipping on the
loch. The Ross Bar is a relaxing and convivial place to enjoy a
pre dinner drink as you study the evening's menu. This fascinating
room, built as a facsimile of Sir John Ross's cabin on the
Victory, was originally used by him to demonstrate polar
navigation to his guests. The Regency Dining Room is both spacious
and elegant, with a professional and friendly staff. The pianist
plays your requests during dinner, and on Saturdays through the
winter, dinner is followed by dancing in the Ballroom. Dinner is
the highlight of the evening, and most guests enjoy dressing for
the occasion. Sunday Lunch is a great tradition at North West
Castle, popular with both residents and local people. All the
bedrooms and suites are attractively decorated. They are all
ensuite and equipped to the highest standards, many with views
over the harbour and loch beyond. The indoor facilities include
the curling rink, a heated swimming pool with spa bath, saunas,
sunbeds and multi-gym. The large games room offers short carpet
bowling, snooker, pool and table tennis.
