Stayed one Friday night in late January. Very friendly and welcoming staff. The £20 meal deal for two including a bottle of wine was both excellent value and good quality. More

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

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

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
