With a commanding view out to sea, the hotel is located in an impressive area that many guests have enjoyed. The location is consistently complimented, and many guests have enjoyed the rooms with sea views that are located at the front of the hotel.

Unfortunately, the Portpatrick’s coastal location means it receives quite a battering from the elements. A number of guests have noted that the hotel’s exterior is starting to look quite worn, and even inside the rooms is becoming shabby. Several guests have noted that the hotel has plenty of potential, and refurbishments are reputed to be underway.

There seems to be a large jump in standard between the premier and standard rooms. The latter have been recorded as being small, dark, and a little dingy, however many guests have been complimentary of the more expensive premier suites. Perhaps consider paying extra for an upgrade if you require a larger room.

The food served at the restaurant has had reviews from both ends of the spectrum. Some guests have been highly complimentary of their meals, while others felt that the portions were on the small size and the vegetables underdone. Breakfast has generally received positive reviews.
