Property was situated on top of a cluff with a.axing views over the bay. Hotel was clean and tidy but in need of refurbishment. The bedside cabinet in my room was poorly made and looked like it could collapse any second. I enjoyed my stay and would stay again if I'm ever in that area again

The hotel is in a marvellous position overlooking Portpatrick. It's rather dated but comfortable and extremely good value for money. The supper menu was rather limited and service rather slow. We appreciated the upgrade to a superior room with sea view. The big disappointment though is now being charged for parking there, which was never the case at a previous stay. Hotels don't normally charge for parking in their own grounds.
