The Waterfront

Free parking, very nice bar, excellent food but above all the staff were lovely and appeared to be a great team who loved working there.

Bedroom clean & bed very comfortable,view was great (Room 5) on top floor overlooking the harbour. Staying for 2 nights. Had meal on 1st night and was very good. Fish and chips and steak pie. Beer garden on first night was very pleasant not so good next day (cold and windy) breakfast was delicious and friendly service from young lady. Compliments to all the staff for friendly service. Shower room on the small side.

The waterfront and staff are lovely. Parking isnt so good. Great stay with lovely harbor walks

Nice wee seaside hotel, getting renovated just now..never caused any issues whatsoever! Lovely food very nice staff...good value for money!

The hotel is in a great location on the sea front with free parking in bays. The top room we had was great with amazing views over the harbour. Nice compact room with an even more neat bathroom with just enough room to use but fine for us. The check in was very friendly and helpful and we ate in the restaurant which was very good. We were warned in advance about live music next door but the singer was good and it stopped around midnight. The night was somewhat ruined by a drunk who’d locked themselves out and shouted the place down at 3am. Overall though a great place to stay and perhaps we’ll return mid week when it’s quieter.

When we arrived the staff were very helpful, and although we had arrived a couple of hours before check in, they advised us that the room was ready and we could drop our luggage off. They informed us that the car parking is anywhere in the public parking area, and there were plenty of spaces directly across the road from the Hotel. The Hotel itself is right on the Waterfront, although the name may give that away, and there is an outside seating area, to enjoy the sunshine with a few drinks from the bar. Some renovation work was ongoing in the hotel, but this did not affect our stay. The room was small but comfortable and the bathroom whilst very small was well thought out in the space allocated. The bed was comfortable, allowing for a good nights sleep and the shower was powerful. Breakfast was the usual mix of a cooked breakfast, along with a selection of cereals, yoghurt, bread and pastries, the cooked breakfast was very enjoyable and filling. We also had a meal in the restaurant one evening, the menu was extensive, and the quality of the food was very good. All in all a very nice stay, with friendly staff and we would definitely return in the future. .

It has a good location. The hotel is getting up graded so there is a building site next door

Stay every year in PortPatrick & this year booked a seafront room thinking would be better. Apart from the views it really isn’t. Building work in the room next door which disturbed my Sunday afternoon. Dogs are allowed to stay and one dog opposite my room didn’t stop barking! The loud noise on Sunday after in the bar below was terrible, I really though a fight had broken out, the language was disturbing. I’ll be booking Harbour again next year or Crown, as the waterfront is in poor condition. There is some work going on. However my room wasn’t very clean (wasn’t dirty) just didn’t feel fresh. Bed sheet just constantly came off as it was too small! The bathroom is a disgrace!! The size is ridiculous for a more expensive room! The mould in the shower cubicle. So dated and far too small for the price. The shower water pressure cannot be described as pressure as there was none! Like trickles coming out! The hairdryer is dated and again no pressure. Gave up trying to dry my hair!

Had a great stay in hotel and really friendly staff and food is amazing the location is amazing and parking just short walk away

Good little hotel. Nothing too fancy. Nice size room . Shower and sink a tad small but does fhe job. Breakfast and evening food good but plenty of other places to eat as well.

Our room was not in the hotel and we were put into a small room in an adjacent house, the door was very difficult to lock, one window wouldn't open and the other wouldn't close so security was an issue, very unclean and rundown, mould every where in the bathroom. We had called and emailed ahead well in advance about booking a table for evening meal as there was a Vegan in our party and were told that it was no problem, there was only a vegan lasagne on offer which we believe that was a frozen ready meal and the home made curry tasted like a ready meal also, the portions were small and did not reflect the price they were charging. We refused to even go for breakfast after the dinner the previous night. Needles to say we did not stay another night and will not be back. Port Patrick was lovely though, we managed to get a booking at another hotel close by which was wonderful and enjoyed the rest of our time there.

I had booked a classic room with king sized bed, pictures looked good. Arrived to find we weren’t even staying in the hotel but a cottage offering the smallest rooms I’ve ever stayed in with a shower and toilet in a cupboard. Place needed a really good clean, double bed was two singles pushed together, one had a wonky spring. Communal area in need of a good clean too.

Checking in. Reception area and foyer were a mess, boxes everywhere, untidy. Not a welcoming site. Room. Not been serviced correctly after the last occupants. No toilet roll or tea! Furniture in the room is old and needs replacing, it felt very tired. En-suite bathroom - a more fitting description would be a cupboard with additions. It measured 2m by 80cm, cosy is not the word to describe it. It does say small on the hotels website, but this is tiny! Carpet on the stairs would appear to be new, and it looks like some decoration of the walls is taking place, i hope they have not paid to have this done as it is appalling. . At our first breakfast we were asked if we needed new towels,which we did not. However we left the 'please service room' sign on the door to get clean cups, teabags,milk and have the bed made up. It was not done. At breakfast the following morning we asked for the room to be serviced, towels and the works. Left the sign on the door again, when we got back from a long day out it had not been done. We went to reception and had to ask for towels, cups, tea and milk. The apology was a throw away 'sorry about that' and the staff sitting the bar did not seem to care less. The pictures of the hotel on its own website and on hotels.com do not represent the hotel as it is now. They appear to be from 2018, when i would suggest the ownership was different to what it is now. It needs updating. Breakfast OK, but ask for bacon to be grilled.

Stop over before catching ferry, which due too bad weather was cancelled staff went out of their way to help and find extra accommodation. Hotel is a delight ,food excellent, spotlessly clean,staff friendly very helpful.

The welcome and service at reception on arrival were excellent. Our room was clean and tidy with a very comfortable bed. We could have done with a chair as there was only a single stool under the dressing table. The bathroom was very compact ( I am 6'4" ) but was clean and had everything required. Excellent breakfast and our stay was superb value. The staff could not have done more to be as helpful as possible to us during our stay.

This two-day break was perfect. Although the rooms and bathrooms were quite small, the space was cleverly utilised. We were fortunate with the beautiful weather, which allowed us to enjoy hiking along the coastline before retuning to sunset dinners. The staff were incredibly friendly, and the room was spotlessly clean.

Great location, very clean, lovely staff and very nice and organised breakfast. Fantastic value for money. Well impressed.

Loved my break here with my partner and wee dog. Had to cut it short though due to circumstances. Our room which appeared to have been recently refurbished was lovely and immaculate. Loved the wee shower room which was so fresh. The staff were extremely helpful and extremely nice especially Lynsey. Only gripe here is that there was no matress protector on the bed but I'm sure they will put that right ASAP. Will definitely be going back. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Best value for money hotel i have ever stayed in. Thanks everyone. Joan

Good stay , clean comfortable room , lovely breakfast, excellent location

The only good thing about the room was the comfortable bed. Furniture needs updated, carpet needs cleaned, small fan heater as radiator didn’t work, marks on walls, bathroom freezing as towel radiator didn’t work, flooring chipped and marked, bin lid broken, room and bathroom needed a good clean.

Great location on waterfront, staff are superb especially Lauren who was super efficient and friendly, bed was comfy and room (6) was nice and clean. Breakfast was outstanding, full Scottish was freshly cooked and really tasty. The en-suite bathroom in our room however was ridiculously tiny, so cramped that it was impossible to sit fully on toilet as legs hit against pipes under sink. You could reach from toilet to switch electric shower on as it was that close. Water pressure was so low shower operated at a trickle and you had to step out of bathroom to have enough space to dry yourself but cold tap on sink was so powerful it sprayed water all over the bathroom. Overall, staff were brilliant but the place needs an equally talented plumber!

Great stay. Good value for money. Only downside was the room was a little cramped. Definitely stay again.

Room was small & bathroom tiny , we already knew that . Carpets need replacing , was pleasant stay & reasonable for 1 night . Good breakfast

Room was tiny, bathroom is so small, you have to fill the kettle with a tiny cup.

Room slightly roo small. Hard to get in and manouvre round bathroom

The rooms are the smallest we have ever experienced, especially the bathroom.The photos on Expedia are misleading as they are for a family room not a room for two people. It was like being in a closet. Our first room the bed was old and uncomfortable. The manager and staff were helpful in changing our room to one that was upgraded with a new bed. We booked a king size bed but it definitely was smaller. The location is great-right next to the water. If you know the room is very small and you’re ok with that then it’s a nice place. We felt like we were in an airplane trying to pass each other in the room.

The hotel is in a great location on the sea front with free parking in bays. The top room we had was great with amazing views over the harbour. Nice compact room with an even more neat bathroom with just enough room to use but fine for us. The check in was very friendly and helpful and we ate in the restaurant which was very good.

The night was somewhat ruined by a drunk who’d locked themselves out and shouted the place down at 3am. Overall though a great place to stay and perhaps we’ll return mid week when it’s quieter.

Great location, room a little tired but fine for us. I was really upset to see that the beautiful blue painted exterior of the hotel, that made it stand out, has been changed to grey!

Had a good stay at the Waterfront. Building is a bit dated and in need of refurb but the cleanliness and staff were great. Breakfast was quite good. The only downside is the shower that kept going off while showering and the creaky floorboards in the room. Would probably stay again if in the area.

Loved area didnt like hotel room.Wind blowing in window, Shower inop,Heating on timer

The hotel is very comfortable with friendly staff (a big thank you to Graham for looking after us this morning). The location is great for exploring Portpatrick and the surrounding area. Food in the evening was excellent and we really enjoyed our stay.

Staff friendly and very attentive. Room clean and view over the harbour was brilliant. Breakfast excellent. We were lucky enough to park across from the hotel. Shower a bit small and pressure not that good but did the purpose.

Portpatrick is stunning and staying at the Waterfront is the perfect choice. Great staff, excellent value. Highly recommended

Best value for money hotel i have ever stayed in. Thanks everyone. Joan

We had a lovely nights stay here. It’s in a great location. The only negative was that I had booked a table for 8 through hotels.com and when we got there the booking wasn’t there even though we had an email to confirm. Luckily we managed to get a table so all was ok in the end .

The hotel is very comfortable with friendly staff (a big thank you to Graham for looking after us this morning). The location is great for exploring Portpatrick and the surrounding area. Food in the evening was excellent and we really enjoyed our stay.

Adequate size room for a few days stay, in a lovely quiet location with a good view of the harbour. Enjoyed the breakfast and we also the meals when we ate there one evening.

The waterfront and staff are lovely. Parking isnt so good. Great stay with lovely harbor walks

Great breakfast, attentive staff, reasonable accomodation and on the harbour promenade .

Great location, room a little tired but fine for us. I was really upset to see that the beautiful blue painted exterior of the hotel, that made it stand out, has been changed to grey!

Nice cozy room. Located right on the harbor.

Location was perfect and fantastic value

Very nice place and beautiful location

Great location on the sea front. They also have some cottages up an adjoining side road which are also used and are split into private rooms. Breakfast is in the main building.

Small room above the pub/restaurant but clean rooms and a great location. Great for a night or two. Great food.

Our room was not in the hotel and we were put into a small room in an adjacent house, the door was very difficult to lock, one window wouldn't open and the other wouldn't close so security was an issue, very unclean and rundown, mould every where in the bathroom. We had called and emailed ahead well in advance about booking a table for evening meal as there was a Vegan in our party and were told that it was no problem, there was only a vegan lasagne on offer which we believe that was a frozen ready meal and the home made curry tasted like a ready meal also, the portions were small and did not reflect the price they were charging. We refused to even go for breakfast after the dinner the previous night. Needles to say we did not stay another night and will not be back. Port Patrick was lovely though, we managed to get a booking at another hotel close by which was wonderful and enjoyed the rest of our time there.

We booked a superior double room with a king size bed to discover it was 2 single mattresses pushed together, the restaurant was closed we had to go to the sister hotel for breakfast which we were told we would have to be there for 8.30 am because they were fully booked breakfast was an extra if we hadn’t took that booking we would not have got a breakfast which we had paid for with our booking.

Breakfast and dinners were to high standard. Friendly staff.

The hotel is very comfortable with friendly staff (a big thank you to Graham for looking after us this morning). The location is great for exploring Portpatrick and the surrounding area. Food in the evening was excellent and we really enjoyed our stay.

Excellent overnight stay, nice breakfast and dinner. Great location. Staff excellent, bar did not cater for my needs as no gluten free beer on tap or in bottles.

Beautiful Hotel and excellent food in their restaurant👌

Perfect location and room had a sea view. Other reviews referenced the small en-suite bathroom and it is very small, but it works and had a lovely hot shower. The restaurant was ok for dinner but vegetarian options limite. Breakfast was ok and cooked to order but no vege options apart from removing all meat based products

Small room above the pub/restaurant but clean rooms and a great location. Great for a night or two. Great food.
