The Portpatrick Hotel by Compass Hospitality

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.

It’s an old hotel with modern upgrades so very clean and comfortable. Staff were very helpful and the food was good. The scenery is fantastic. We would happily stay there again.

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.

Lovely modern bedroom with beautiful view. Staff were very eager to please. Main areas felt tired. Limited menu and wine list, bit uninspiring.
