Brilliant setting, which could do with better signage at the entrance to the road.. Issue with our room was sorted quickly and well, although the replacement room was small and pokey under the eaves and with a tiny bathroom and one small window. Generally the room and especially the bathroom need a bit of TLC - lookin at furniture need and socket placement would be a start. It was OK for 1 night but for longer a definite no. That said the bed was comfy and the hotel was quiet. The restaurant was another matter. The person in charge of the kitchen, I will NOT call them a chef, needs training on how to pick salad leaves- just because they are bought "ready to eat" in a pack doesn't mean you don't need to check them over as some go off and basically turn to a rank brown "mush" before others. Serving them in such quantity is, frankly, in excusable. Menu also needs to be looked at - one slice of toast with a chicken liver parfait is not enough. Wait staff need to realise when there is no bread or water on the table as FIRST. "Steamed vegetables" is not a fair description of frozen peas and carrots mix and to overcook fish so badly is not something I have seen since the 80s :-( No wonder you can't find their menu on the website for love nor money. Stay for the views and avoid the restaurant at all costs!

Good choice for my short stay in Portpatrick
A large hotel dating back to earlier and different times but appeared to be well maintained in both the public areas and the room which was clean and well equipped. Bed was comfortable and a small point but important for me, decent wall lights for bedtime reading. Bathroom was spotless although I'm not great on shower curtains with a standard bath. Breakfast service was good, cooked items served to order, plenty of fresh fruit salad items and choice of cereals, yoghurt, croissants as well as toast. Preserves in the little plastic tubs but that's just me. Check in and out quick and efficient. Parking fine but might struggle if hotel was fully occupied. Situated on headland with lovely views, a path with steps leads down to the harbour.

Great stop over on my way to Cairnryan ferry
Arrived after 21.00 in readiness for a 05.30 start for the Cairnryan ferry (20 minutes drive away). Very warm welcome by friendly staff who rustled me up a sandwich even tho the kitchen was closed. Fantastic views, pet friendly, great value for money. Rooms and decor are a little tired but clean, tidy and comfortable. Recommended. Portpatrick a lovely small harbour town.

We had a lovely stay, we had the superior room with sea view, if anything needs updated in the hotel it’s the windows we could feel a draft coming in, big thick curtains so we closed over the worst windows to keep the draft out, hotel lovely nice bar area and games room, we had dinner and it was lovely and so was the breakfast, I would stay here again lovely views from the room we had.
