I give Fred and Maggie, the owners of Rickwood House, full marks for their welcome, accommodation, hospitality and especially the quality of the cooking. Being a small hotel, it lacks items such as a swimming pool and a fitness centre, but for us, being small is a major plus. There is no "restaurant" as such, but Maggie provides set evening... more

A lovely guest house in a beautiful part of Scotland. It is some time since we stayed in Scotland, and apart from excellent breakfasts, we have in the past been disappointed with the standard of evening meals. I am pleased to report that the Rickwood served us excellent meals during our stay, only let down by the wine. The room... more

From the moment we arrived at Rickwood, owner Maggie`s welcome assured us that our stay would be a good one. And it was!

We stayed here for one night in May. It's a fantastic little B&B, short walk up the hill from the harbour, clean & tasteful rooms and a breakfast to die for (the homemade porridge is brilliant!!) smashing, i'd thoroughly recommend it. more

We have just returned from a lovely weekend in Portpatrick. We had stayed in Portpatrick before but never at the Rickwood. We saw that the owners, Maggie and Fred had won the 2008 Guest House Warm Scottish Welcome award from HotelReview Scotland so thought we would give it a try. We're so glad we did and plan to return whenever... more

We stayed in this hotel for 2 nights in Sept. 2007. Our room was medium-sized, quiet, and had a lovely view of the sea. We found the atmosphere friendly and peaceful. The owners were gracious and helpful. We would recommend this Bed and Breakfast and also Portpatrick itself which is a nice small village with very good restaurants, especially Campbells... more

Maggie and Fred would bend over backwards to make your stay the most enjoyable.The place is pristine ,absolutely spotless,the rooms are... more
