Elizabeth, South Australia

Balyett is very convenient to ferry terminals. The owner is very obliging, the rooms are delightful, and breakfast was excellent. Couldn’t ask for anything more. Short drive to Cairnryan, also to Portpatrick – a very quaint fishing village.

Heathmont (AU)

Pat from Balyett was very welcoming on our arrival, the room was very comfortable and breakfast was great.The B & B is literally 5 minutes from the ferry terminal which was the reason for booking. The whole experience made for a great start to the day. I would certainly recommend this B & B.

Stephen from Leeds

We recieved a lovely warm reception from the owners, who made us feel really welcome and even moved their car so that we could keep our motorcycle under cover. The room was clean, cosy and comfortable – it was everything we required, and the cooked breakfast was first class!

Richard from England

Such a lovely place with a real family vibe to it. Stunning!

Fiona from Falkirk

A first class B & B displaying exceptionally high standards, of cleanliness, comfort and attention to detail. The house itself is beautifully and tastefully furnished in keeping with the period of its build. A lovely breakfast with eggs collected from the farm hens that morning. The hostess, Pat, gave a friendly and warm welcome and was very helpful in directing us to a local hostelry for evening meal. We will be back.

This bed and breakfast is a haven of tranquility and comfort. I was given a most warm welcome and made to feel at home right away. The food was excellent. Pat (owner of B&B) has a detailed knowledge of the area including all of the local services and facilities. I felt very much refreshed and re-vitalised from my stay at this gem of a B&B. I would highly recommend Balyett, where a warm and friendly welcome will await you.

David from Cheshire

We picked this place solely for its proximity to the Cairnryan ferry – but what a lucky pick! We had a choice of two fabulous views, an amazingly comfortable room and the best breakfast of the week’s holiday (we’d stayed in several places through Ireland). The host was really helpful and was able to advise on a really good place to eat (Custom House in Stranraer, which we would also recommend!). We weren’t there nearly long enough and have resolved to go back for longer.
