"I have honestly never stayed in such a shabby hotel. The standards were way below average. Dirty, old, smelly and so outdated I doubt it's been decorated since the mid 80s. The only saving grace was the livelychap from Hungary on reception who did his best to help. I cant say the same for the receptionist who couldnt care less when I checked out and proceeeded to go for a smoke right outside the door! Portpatrick is a lovely place but unfortunately the windows in this hotel were so filthy I couldn't take in the view. Avoid this place! I wish I had..."

"Lovely modern bedroom with beautiful view. Staff were very eager to please. Main areas felt tired. Limited menu and wine list, bit uninspiring. "

"What can I say about Kinvara except WOW! It was FANTASTIC! We stayed for 4 nights, and because Kinvara is so spacious and disabled accessible we were able to bring my Dad, who has Parkinson's and, with that, mobility issues. Being a bungalow with step free ramped access and having the grab rails in the bathrooms and the wet room was just perfect for our needs. We had 5 adults and 3 kids and there was more than enough room for all of us. All the rooms were so spacious with plenty of storage for clothes, and the dining area was just beautiful, overlooking the garden and the field of sheep behind. The kids loved the garden and the play area with the pool table and dart board and loved sitting playing board games in the dining room with all the natural light coming in. The house heated up really quickly too when the central heating was on which was great for Dad. It was super cosy for him sitting in the living room reading his paper or watching tv while we prepared dinner- and the wee hatch through to the kitchen meant we could still see him and he could shout if he needed anything! It honestly ticked all the boxes for us, we are booking again for next year!! The location is excellent, a great play park 2mins from the property and a short walk to shops and into town. Such a beautiful place to stay and lovely owner! Every one of us thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Kinvara. Highly recommend!!"
