BEDBUGS! AVOID!

I checked into the Portpatrick Hotel for a two-night stay from August 1st to 3rd, and unfortunately, it turned out to be a nightmare from the start. On the first night, I discovered bedbugs in the room. I was promptly moved, but the new room appeared to be an area not typically open to guests. The room lacked basic essentials: no bed sheets, no pillowcases, a visibly dirty duvet, and no duvet cover at all. I was then moved again, only to be told the following morning that we had to vacate the room because it had been double-booked. This led to a fourth move during our short stay. The issues didn’t stop there… the shower in the final room didn’t work. While one of the presumed managers was quite rude and dismissive, the night porter, who remained attentive and genuinely tried to help resolve the ongoing issues. Overall, I would not recommend the Portpatrick Hotel based on this stay. As the harbour house and the waterfront hotel are much more reliable options for overnights in Portpatrick. A Serious review of housekeeping and management practices is clearly needed.

Room was basic and not what we were expecting for the price. Shower needs modernising and door between bedroom and bathroom needed fixing. TV very small. Much of the cooked breakfast was cold. You have to pay to park in the hotel car park even if you are a guest.

Friendly staff but dated hotel

Check in staff was amazing. We got in later than expected but was accommodation for the silly hour of arrival. Room 2 was damp smelling like a wet dog. Bed could do with a new mattress. The room was run down and dusty around the floor.

Impressive 100 year old hotel sitting on top of the hill. Very good value, clean and great staff. However, walls were thin, my neighbour turned on their tv at 05:45am every morning and when they ran their bath it sounded like roadworks with the pipes vibrating. Great value though and Staff were pleasant and very helpful.

Large bedroom. Beautiful views from huge window. Staff were very nice, helpful and friendly. Good facilities for the dog. Negative. Counted at least 8 signs in the carpark from private company warning you to pay £6.50 per day for parking.

Lovely hotel BUT

The hotel and staff were excellent they did their very best. However it is GROSSLY understaffed. and it shows. I felt particularly the resteraunt service was very slow just because it was understaffed. They did there best but were stretched. Tea & coffee were served in identicle pots and the crosover flavours were obvious

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Unfortunately we had no hot water in the shower. The TV was not working properly and the windows were jammed shut. A member of staff pleasantly tried to sort the hot water issue but we only achieved a warm temperature. Maybe we got off to a bad start seeing all the signs instructing us to pay for car parking on arrival. This is not welcoming.
