There was an abundance of local animals to enjoy watching: horses, cows, sheep and housemartins. The pool table in the sun room was a welcome addition. All the bedrooms were spacious with excellent quality bedding. The downstairs master suite was particularly attractive. We would love to return! "

Booktown Bunkhouse

10/10 Excellent

"Room and facilities spotless as usual"

The Portpatrick Hotel by Compass Hospitality

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and reasonably priced"

Lakeview Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"Super location to visit the local town or enjoy a walk in the park/along the beach. The hosts were helpful and on hand to support. Beds were comfortable, the room was warm and spacious. Breakfast was lovely and there was ample parking. I can safely say, I'd visit again."

The Crown Hotel

8/10 Good

"The staff are amazing, as is the food and drink. It’s clean, but in my opinion it’s a little stuck in the 80’s. I’ve heard of apexing on a ceiling, but never a wall, could really do with a lick of paint to say the least. Nonetheless, clean and tidy enough to stay."

The Royal Hotel

8/10 Good

"Clean room, bar and comfy bed."

Fernhill Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely location with great views over Portpatrick. It was such a wet day and we were delighted when we were able to have our room a little bit earlier than the check in time of 3pm, even more so, when our room was upgraded to a balcony room. As soon as you enter the hotel you are stunned by the terrific view over Portpatrick at the reception and then again from our lovely, bright spacious and very clean bedroom. Loved having the bath and powerful shower. We enjoyed a drink in the comfortable lounge before going for a walk. We enjoyed our dinner, pate, chicken and mushroom pie and fish and chips. The breakfast next morning was even better with the added addition of fresh fruit salad to the selection of cereals etc. My husband had the Fernhill Grill and I had the Eggs Benedict. The eggs were cooked to perfection! Staff all very pleasant. Thoroughly enjoyed our overnight stay and would highly recommend this hotel. Thank you."

Woodland Bay Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Spacious room, good kitchenette."

The Bruce Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"large, clean room with plenty of added touches - hairdryer, tea tray, toiletries, loads of storage space. Knowledgeable staff went over and above to help me. Very quiet, easy to find, shower and bath in bathroom."
