    I cannot recommend this hotel enough. From the room to the surroundings to the breakfast to the staff. We stayed in the Royal Blue room, which was incredible. It was impeccably clean and the decor is beautiful. The only downfall is we didn’t stay longer, we will certainly be back. Thanks again. …

    Lovely location on top of hill with great sea views. Our room, Buchanan, had a table and chairs in front of window with sofa and then bed behind them. Could see the sea from all. Bed was comfy and bath also has sea view. Staff friendly and very accommodating (went during COVID circuit breaker 2 weeks). Had dinner in room which was very tasty. Portpatrick is a quiet, scenic harbour village with a few eating options, walks and can be a base for exploring area. Would recommend and will come again. …
