Welcome to the Fernhill Hotel

Owned and run by the Macmillan family, the Fernhill extends a warm welcome to guests both old and new. You will immediately relax in the care of the friendly and attentive staff.

On entering the hotel for the first time, the breathtaking view form the huge picture window in the lounge is overwhelming. The coast of Ireland, 21 miles away, can be seen on a clear day. The hotel is open all year round, with some of the best weather in spring and autumn, when the weather is warm and the evenings are long.

The superb local golf courses remain playable all year round, with the cliff top Dunskey Golf course only a five-minute stroll away.

Wherever you are in the hotel that special view is never far away!

A Room with a View

Comfortable and well equipped, all twenty bedroom shave private facilities, colour TV and direct dial telephone. Almost all the rooms share the magnificent sea view, some even have their own balcony, and include executive and superior for those within a little extra luxury.

The Garden House is a special amenity ideal for small golfing groups or parties. It sleeps up to nine in cosy bedrooms with its own sunny entrance porch and all hotel facilities. The Stables House offers a very spacious four poster suite, a superior room with jacuzzi bath, and all with superb views over the garden, village and sea beyond.

The sea air will ensure a good night's sleep.

The Rosetted Conservatory Restaurant

The Fernhill Hotel is justly proud of its restaurant. The menu, using the best of local seafood, game and poultry, changes daily, and offers the house speciality of fresh Mull of Galloway lobster, when in season. Traditionally creel caught in grade A waters around the Mull by local fishermen, this delicacy is fresh on a daily basis direct from the hotel's holding facility. Our team is dedicated to ensuring your enjoyment and will gladly cater for all diets, children's high tea and any special requests. The convivial atmosphere of the attractive cocktail bar adjoining the conservatory makes it the perfect place to meet for pre dinner drinks.

The Southern Upland Way sets out from just below the Fernhill Hotel.

Getting to know Galloway

Explore cliff top walks to ruined castles, lonely bays with only the gulls for company, and sandy beaches lapped by the relatively warm waters of the Gulf Stream. Palm trees grow in the balmy air, and the sub tropical Logan Botanic Gardens are only a short drive away.

The hotel offers excellent golf packages at Dunskey, Portpatrick, Creachmore, Stranraer and Wigtown County, Glenluce. Your chance to play the exclusive Cally Golf Course at Gatehouse of Fleet is an opportunity not to be missed! This is only available to you as a resident guest at a McMillan family hotel.
