We first stayed in 1978 , with the Vere Nicoll's (rooms 23 pounds,dinner 4.50 !!).Then had a poor lunch from Mr Galmich in 1990 , menu all in French.But now the Ibbotsons are enlarging (2 new bedrooms going in) and the rooms bathrooms and lounges are far more comfortable.
Relaxed in style , after the winding 3 mile track down to the private sea bay , you sign in and your bags are taken to your room.
We only stay when the sun is blazing down , dont know how often that happens , and the trees look a bit wind bent . Two old black dogs and the family are pottering around the garden , which always looks rather lop sided , huge naked lawn one side , masses of stuff the other.
Not the best bar for cocktails , keep it simple.
The Michelin star kitchen is a well oiled machine , but I have forgotten my dinner , breakfast on the other hand was funny when the order was muddled and they thought I was vegetarian ,
which I am not.
Super relaxing , and worth the journey.
Bed and bath excellent.
Left without seeing the owners again.

What more can we say other than FABULOUS, fantastic hotel in a beautiful secluded spot. Service, rooms and food were just stunning, we couldnot fault our stay. We shall MOST CERTAINLY BE BACK! - Mr and Mrs Miller

A Great Find. The staff were all very friendly and efficient and the food was unbeatable. Fantastic location for costal walks to Portpatric and the surrounding area. Would defiantly re-book and have already recommended to friends and family.

We came to get away and have a romantic break to celebrate 20 years of marriage. What a find ! Lovely room ( Whin ) huge bathroom ! We probably had the best 2 days weather for a long time but we could sit on the lawn overlooking the bay and just completely switch off. We walked over the tops along the most stunning cliff top walk to Portpatrick and back. Food superb, service excellent this is a great place to relax. Yes it's expensive but you pay for what you get in this life.
