The Harbour House Hotel

8/10 Good

"The staff were lovely and very helpful. Polite at all times. Making sure our stay was enjoyable. Lovely walk to the castle on your left. And an exciting walk to Sandeel beach ( not for the faint hearted). Would call portpatrick a hidden gem for a short stay."

2 Bedroom Lodge, Beach Location, Fabulous Views

10/10 Excellent

"I made the mistake of not reading all the details supplied and arrived without towels so please remember to take them with you. The surroundings were so relaxing and clean, the beach was fantastic the Humans and the Dog had a wonderful time so much so we have boked for next year."

3 Bedroom Lodge, Close to Beach, Stunning Views, includes hot tub

8/10 Good

"We enjoyed our stay at the lodge. It was clean, quiet and comfortable, with great views. It's conveniently placed to be able to explore sites and attractions in the area. Only suggestions would be to look at the flooring which seemed to be giving way in some places. Also, we didn't use the hot tub as the welcome booklet said it needed to be cleaned after use but it wasn't clear how to clean it. Otherwise, all good."

The Portpatrick Hotel by Compass Hospitality

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was in an amazing location. The view was INCREDIBLE. It is a very old property but they do a good job of trying to keep it clean, maintained and updated. It wasn’t the Ritz Carlton by any means, but it was good enough for what we needed. Close to an AMAZING golf course (walking distance) which also had a very challenging par 3 course. The staff were very helpful and we would stay here again. Food was just ok but breakfast was included in our stay so it was fine."

10/10 Excellent

"Eine sehr schöne, saubere und geräumige Wohnung. Der Blick aufs Meer und der direkte Zugang waren zauberhaft. Die Kommunikation mit der Eigentümerin bzw. Verwalterin klappte hervorragend.Die Woche war richtig erholsam für uns."

Corsewall Lighthouse Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic wild location - remote, but not too far from Stranraer. Some great local walks, and sunsets. The hotel is quiet, small and unique. Our dog was very welcome, and got extra treats for breakfast. The food was amazing - surprising, given the remote location. Room was clean and spacious, and the staff were all very friendly. There's an EV charger just next to the hotel, which was a welcome bonus. Definitely recommended."
