Part of this hotel has recently been converted into holiday cottages, and that's where we stayed. The cottages are fantastic -see our review under the name "Portpatrick Holiday Homes". Haven't stayed at the hotel so can't comment on that. We did eat several times from the bar menu which was good simple pub grub at really reasonable prices. The bar... More

Bar has all Sports channels and some entertainment on Friday and Saturday nights so ideal for a leisure break. Portpatrick is a lovely little town with nice harbour and several good restaurants in immediate... More

We recently booked 2 of the 3-bedroom cottages which are adjacent to this hotel for a weekend family break. We were delighted with the cottages as they were modern, comfortable, well-equipped, enjoyed the hotel's guest sevices, and were in an excellent location - handy for everything!! Both cottages were spotlessly clean with everything in good working order. Access is arranged... More

Stayed here in early October, a group of 16. We were over for a golfing weekend. The rooms were not what we expected, some had no showers only baths. Space in some very cramped. We booked and were given a rate, however when we checked rates available closer to our arrival we found cheaper rates given. These cheaper rates were... More

We stayed in room 1, which was newly refurbished and was a large room with high ceilings facing the High Street and distant view to the sea. The food was excellent... More
