10/10 Exceptional

Booked for a last minute weekend that also had to be pet friendly and luckily we found The Waterfront. The room itself was clean & spacious with a great view (ensuite was small but they warn you about that) and breakfast was one the nicest I've had in a hotel. As for the staff, they were so friendly and helpful especially when we checked in late.

Stay was excellent. Great service, great food, great staff - very friendly. The hotel is undergoing refurbishment - a working progress. The room was cosy and the bed very comfortable, a little tired in the ensuite, sea view more than made up for this - what’s not to like. Excellent value for money. Will return. 😊

Breakfast was poor and selection of wines only served some wines by the bottle went next door and got it by the glass
Thomas, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

En suite far too small, sitting on toilet with legs up against wash basin, couldnt bend down when brushing teeth bathroom door right behind you, shower cubicle to small couldnt bend down to wash feet. Breakfast served wasnt that warm, only white bread for toast. We payed for two nights but left after first night.

Port Patrick always a beaut

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!

Lovely place!

Just one night stop over - off the ferry. Surprised by the distance between ferry and hotel (20min) as the address given on the website was Stranraer - but it actually is in Portpatrick. Fantastic view from the room!!!

Picturesque seaside village

Hotel is perfectly placed in the village. Staff were friendly. Room was a bit dated but clean enough. Shower room was very small and was probably a converted cupboard

Short break

The hotel was clean. Service was friendly and good. Dinner was good as was breakfast. Room 6 is a cozy small room with nice sea views. Although the bathroom is a bit small.we had only booked one night,but it would be ok for a longer break

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 .

To be honest the bathroom was too small and the toilet didn’t always flush, took time to fill up!
