We enjoyed a one night stay in room 3, it’s petite very cosy and had everything we needed for the night. We ate dinner in the Hotel Saturday 7th and breakfast on the morning 8th, both meals were fantastic. Thankfully the Hotel doesn’t do a hot buffet and the Scottish breakfast was hot, freshly prepared and the best we’ve had in a long time. We saw the same two staff members for checkin, dinner and breakfast, very polite, friendly and incredibly helpful.

The hotel is very comfortable with friendly staff (a big thank you to Graham for looking after us this morning). The location is great for exploring Portpatrick and the surrounding area. Food in the evening was excellent and we really enjoyed our stay.

Room was clean, bed was comfortable and staff most helpful. Sadly the accommodation was quite shabby in some respects and there didn’t seem to be any ventilation in the en suite bathroom which made it unpleasant.

Room spotless, staff very friendly the only thing when we arrived I thought our booking was bed and breakfast but when we arrived we were told it was room only. Other than that everything was ok, would have liked a sea view but just our luck looking over roof tops

6/10 Good

Weren’t told we’d be in the annex when booking. Luckily we didn’t have any accessibility difficulties (or a couple of stone heavier) or the narrow staircase would have been difficult to navigate. The room was clean enough, bathroom adequate, shower awful but the biggest annoyance was the really loudly squeaking floorboards. They were bad for us but must have been worse for those downstairs! I took to traversing the two single beds (not KING size like advertised) to avoid some of the squeaks. The full Scottish breakfast (I’m told) was very good and we couldn’t fault the staff at all. Whilst appreciating that the property is older than some and therefore has “character” when this forces you to play “floor is lava” to get to the bathroom it impacts on your stay. Ps The hotel is in Portpatrick NOT Stranraer Portpatrick is lovely’ Stranraer not so much Port Pantry was the best meal we had 👍

The room and bathroom were quite small, but functional. We were able to hear a lot of outside noise inside our room. The staff was really nice.
