Hotel, Chalet and Conference centre planned for Stranraer

PLANS ARE being drawn up for an hotel, chalet and conference centre on the outskirts of Stranraer.

Behind the project is farmer Bertie McClung who also runs an equestrian centre at Planting End, Castle Kennedy.

He has formed a company which has bought 14 1/2 acres of land running along the east side of the Stranraer to Leswalt road, between Stranraer Golf Club and the Craigencrosh roundabout.

Now he is seeking outline planning permission to develop Creachmore Croft and has announced the project by way of a notice board at the roundabout itself.

Mr McClung told the 'Free Press' this week "Stranraer is crying out for a development like this".
