About this property
Private garden
Double glazing
Fireplace
Nestled on the shores of Loch Ryan, Cairnryan is a picturesque village with a proud maritime heritage and an important role in modern travel. Located just six miles north of Stranraer along the scenic A77, it serves as a key gateway to Northern Ireland, thanks to its large and busy ferry port.
Established in the early 18th century, Cairnryan quickly became a vital coaching stop on the main route north to Ayr. Today, it retains its charm as a peaceful stopover, with stunning views across the loch.
The village’s port has deep historic roots. During World War II, it played a crucial role in the construction of the innovative Mulberry Harbours, floating docks that were instrumental in the success of the d-Day landings in Normandy.
Whether you're passing through or staying a while, Cairnryan offers a unique blend of history, heritage, and connection.
