Property was situated on top of a cluff with a.axing views over the bay. Hotel was clean and tidy but in need of refurbishment. The bedside cabinet in my room was poorly made and looked like it could collapse any second. I enjoyed my stay and would stay again if I'm ever in that area again

The hotel is in a marvellous position overlooking Portpatrick. It's rather dated but comfortable and extremely good value for money. The supper menu was rather limited and service rather slow. We appreciated the upgrade to a superior room with sea view. The big disappointment though is now being charged for parking there, which was never the case at a previous stay. Hotels don't normally charge for parking in their own grounds.

It's a grand old (or middle-aged) hotel on a stunning hillside location overlooking the harbour. It has clearly seen better days, and seems to be struggling somewhat. This does not stop me from staying there, as I want to support them, and it's a good location for the ferry at Cairnryan. It's clean, has a lift/elevator and rooms with harbour views. Because it's a big old building, we had to wait quite a while for hot water to reach our rooms for showers. Staff are exceptionally friendly. From the receptionist who checked us in after our ferry arrived late, to the dining room waitress at breakfast - which was cooked to order and delicious.

The room we had overlooked the water. Sadly the window was screwed shut so we could not get fresh air and the small room was stuffy. The shower was in a huge tub that should’ve come with a ladder. The hotel is old and could use updating. Beds need side tables with plugs and lamps for reading. Our room lacked plugs and a table.
