Golf trip stopover
Stayed one night after coming off Stena ferry from Belfast.
Grand old building on the cliff top.
Fantastic outlook over the harbour and sea beyond.
Nice harbour area to visit with places to eat and drink.
We are at this accommodation. Food was good and reasonably priced. Service was very good.
Hotel itself has been renovated in parts, however, still reflects its age in places.
Our room was spacious and the beds comfortable.
Bathroom very small. Shower and water pressure not great.

Great view
An old hotel with a lot of character and could do with a little tender loving face lift. Comfortable and pleasant stay.

Lovely area very helpful staff
It’s definitely the staff that makes this stay so nice, the hotel has obviously seen better days but they have been redecorating and making a very good effort to improve your stay.
One lovely thing as well was how cozy everywhere was so nice to be warm.
The chief for the breakfast has to be praised for the perfect eggs in the morning I’m veggie so didn’t try the bacon or sausages but hubby was pleased with them.
Staff are all young but very helpful nothing too much for them.
It was very reasonably priced lovely area never been before the sea was spectacular to watch.
Very mixed age range from youngsters to us oldies warm welcome from Jodie on reception which always make a good start to your stay.

Lovely sea view. Hotel spacious. Staff were excellent and friendly. Breakfast was very good and so was the evening meal and catered for different diets if asked. Would we stay again? Yes.

Beautiful location with outstanding views. Very friendly staff. The port itself is a beautiful fishing harbour with a lovely pub/restaurant. If walking to the port harbour from the hotel you need to be quite agile as it's a cliff walk but the steps are very safe and there's plenty of benches to rest on along the way. Very amenable hotel.

We stayed in this hotel before and were happy to come back but unfortunately the property deteriorated and our stay was not as good. We booked superior room, like last time we stayed, but room was much smaller, with small double bed, and very tired bathroom (cracked tiles). It was dusty and needed TLC.
Not sure we will be back although the location and the views from the hotel are fabulous and staff are very nice and work hard.
If you book - ask for a room with a king bed or twin beds as the double bed we had was very small. Worth paying for a room with sea view.

Brilliant setting, which could do with better signage at the entrance to the road.. Issue with our room was sorted quickly and well, although the replacement room was small and pokey under the eaves and with a tiny bathroom and one small window. Generally the room and especially the bathroom need a bit of TLC - lookin at furniture need and socket placement would be a start. It was OK for 1 night but for longer a definite no. That said the bed was comfy and the hotel was quiet. The restaurant was another matter. The person in charge of the kitchen, I will NOT call them a chef, needs training on how to pick salad leaves- just because they are bought "ready to eat" in a pack doesn't mean you don't need to check them over as some go off and basically turn to a rank brown "mush" before others. Serving them in such quantity is, frankly, in excusable. Menu also needs to be looked at - one slice of toast with a chicken liver parfait is not enough. Wait staff need to realise when there is no bread or water on the table as FIRST. "Steamed vegetables" is not a fair description of frozen peas and carrots mix and to overcook fish so badly is not something I have seen since the 80s :-( No wonder you can't find their menu on the website for love nor money. Stay for the views and avoid the restaurant at all costs!

Good choice for my short stay in Portpatrick
A large hotel dating back to earlier and different times but appeared to be well maintained in both the public areas and the room which was clean and well equipped. Bed was comfortable and a small point but important for me, decent wall lights for bedtime reading. Bathroom was spotless although I'm not great on shower curtains with a standard bath.
Breakfast service was good, cooked items served to order, plenty of fresh fruit salad items and choice of cereals, yoghurt, croissants as well as toast. Preserves in the little plastic tubs but that's just me.
Check in and out quick and efficient. Parking fine but might struggle if hotel was fully occupied.
Situated on headland with lovely views, a path with steps leads down to the harbour.
