Great hotel

As soon as we walked into the hotel we were faced with a stunning view over Portpatrick from the huge window in reception. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Our room was bigger than expected and had a balcony with a view over Portpatrick and out to sea.

The property is well placed with fine views. The staff were excellent and the rooms and meals were very good. Straight forward short walk to the town and sea front but it is steep for anyone with mobility problems. Great location for a short break.
