Good meals and staff friendly. Upstairs 2 bed flat was clean and ideal for our needs. The enclosed garden at back was great for our dog. Will return to this hotel and the wonderful town of Portpatrick.
George, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Clean room, comfortable bed and friendly staff. We arrived late after a ferry delay. The staff were very accommodating and even advised us on where we could get a late takeaway in Stranraer. Port Patrick was wonderfully peaceful and relaxing (we visited in late Autumn). We ended up staying until dinnertime rather than leaving straightaway as planned. We enjoyed walking the seafront with our children and dog. An overnight stop that turned into a nice break.
