This a very nice inn in a quaint Scottish village just outside Stanraer. I can be tricky to get to it if you don’t have a car. Call for a taxi in advance. The staff is fantastic and extremely friendly. The people in the area are great.

Nice room with a fantastic view of the harbour from the huge windows and balcony. Staff were very friendly and helpful and the food in the restaurant was very good (although the haggis in the breakfast was rather sloppy). Would definitely stay here again.

We really enjoyed our stay and would love to go back some time. The views were beautiful and it’s a tranquil setting. The food was good, the hotel team were excellent and it’s conveniently located close to the harbour (although note, if you have mobility issues, there are steps). Pets are £10/ night extra which is fairly typical. The only thing that could be improved were very cheap somewhat flimsy plastic toilet seats, which felt a bit like unnecessary cost-cutting.

The hotel was recommended to me by family and I emailed them the 2nd day of my stay to thank them. The hotel was excellent, a great location and outstanding view over Portpatrick. The meals were very good. The hotel was very clean and obviously well maintained with all amenities. The staff were outstanding, nothing was too much trouble and they were very helpful and polite. I will be going g back and will recommend this hotel to friends
