This is not our first visit to the salty dog, we usually travel with our Westie Iona who is treated like a vip here. So when travelling without her we didn’t hesitate to book again. The rooms are all different with a personally to suit their shape and position in the hotel. They are clean and comfortable. The team from breakfast through to bed time a warm friendly and keen to do what ever it takes to make your stay perfect. Such a relaxed and welcoming environment. The breakfast is fresh and...

A friendly comfortable upmarket hotel with a very reasonable room rate. The Bar even stocks local Craft bottled beers from FARMAGGEDON, just 8 miles up the road.

What can I say all the staff were so friendly and couldn't do enough for us. It is in a great sitiuation, just a short distance from the main shops. local musicians come in and play their music from time to time. The food was excellent, both breakfast and evening meal.
We would definately use this hotel again when we are in the Downpatrick area.
Many thanks from a very happy customer.

The hotel was wonderful - we had a lovely, spacious, quiet room. Breakfast was excellent as were the meals we had in the Bistro and in the restaurant. It exceeded our expectations - the reviews had made us nervous of noise etc. from wedding parties but we were there across a busy August weekend with weddings and a coach party and it didn't affect us at all. We were visiting our son who was working in Belfast and we had hired a car so we could tour around. He was also able to get taxis to us...

My partner and I had a wonderful stay here. It was ideal as we landed at George best airport and it was only a short drive away. We were greeted at the front desk by this lovely gentleman who made us feel more than welcome. Helped us with where to get food despite the late hour. He even stored my partners insulin in the fridge somewhere safe. The beds were very comfortable and we had no disturbances all night. Highly recommend!!

We had a great stay here. The pod was cosy and warm and the setting was peaceful and quiet yet convenient to town for shops and restaurants. Would definitely stay here again.

Where to start - I was clearly looking warm and tired upon my arrival so the staff made sure my room was ready early so I could settle in and freshen up. I asked for directions to the nearest shopping precinct only to be told it was a little too far to walk to on such a hot day, but a member of staff would be happy to drive me there. Which they thankfully did. Returned later in the evening to a fantastic and very reasonably priced evening meal. At check out the reception staff, once again, went...

The best area to stay in Portavogie is right along the harbour front, particularly around the Church Street and New Road intersection.
This area is the heart of Portavogie, offering direct access to the fishing harbour, which is a significant part of the town's identity. You'll find local shops selling fresh seafood and a few eateries here. It's a compact area, making it easy to stroll along the waterfront and observe the daily comings and goings of the fishing boats.
For couples looking for a relaxed coastal getaway, staying near the harbour provides a pleasant experience. You can enjoy quiet walks by the sea, watch the fishing boats, and sample local produce. The proximity to the harbour also means easy access to the scenic coastal drive along the Ards Peninsula.
Families might also find this area suitable due to its calm atmosphere and the educational aspect of seeing a working harbour. Children can enjoy watching the boats and the local wildlife.
When is the best time to go to Portavogie?
The best time to go to Portavogie is during the summer months, from June to August, when the weather is generally at its finest.
During this period, you'll experience longer daylight hours and milder temperatures, making it ideal for exploring the village and its surroundings. The summer also brings a relaxed atmosphere, superb for enjoying the local beaches and coastal walks.
For couples looking for a peaceful escape, late spring (May) or early autumn (September) can also be excellent choices. The weather is still pleasant, but there are fewer visitors, offering a more tranquil experience. These shoulder seasons are superb for enjoying the scenery without the busier crowds of peak summer.
