Bedrooms really need upgrading. Staff in dining room nice but very slow food was good perhaps a better setup for breakfast though too much food sitting under hot plates drying out. Lovely views of the port.

Hotel was clean ,our bedroom was clean ,requested a sea view and it was lovely watching the boats ,some stopping to fish and others just sailing by, staff were all so friendly and helpful and nothing was a bother to them,there was also plenty of variety for breakfast,we had a lovely time.

Portpatrick Hotel was ok Staff were very friendly We arrived at about 3.30ish and hadn’t had any lunch and asked to have something to eat but kitchen was closed until 5.30 The room was clean enough but very dated Bed was a small double and not very comfortable however another couple we spoke to said their room was really nice so maybe we should have asked to be upgraded Breakfast was lovely but menu for dinner limited and my husband wasn’t impressed with dinners although mine was ok We had a dog too so would have preferred a room nearer the front door

Beautiful seaside Victorian hotel! Staff were stretched thin but very friendly, dinner and breakfast were great, high ceilings in the room, stunning views out the large original windows. Some parts of the room could maybe use a deep sanitize clean, bathroom had an odd aroma. Room and hotel were well appointed otherwise. The walk down to the lifeboat station at sunset was 👌and the hike to Dunskey castle the next morning was incredible.

My overall view is 'faded grandure'. Most of the hotel needs a complete refurbish. The staff were very helpful and did their best with poor facilities. Having stayed here before it was as I expected. My only negative feedback was the lack of clarity on 'half board' that does not include all courses for dinners this year (only starter and main - NOT pudding) It's reasonably priced for the facilities and suited my group of 12 golfers

Property was situated on top of a cluff with a.axing views over the bay. Hotel was clean and tidy but in need of refurbishment. The bedside cabinet in my room was poorly made and looked like it could collapse any second. I enjoyed my stay and would stay again if I'm ever in that area again
