North West Castle Hotel ★★★

"The hotel is old and run-down, but it's well-equipped, even having a curling rink."

Knockinaam Lodge ★★★★

"Brilliant location. Calm atmosphere and very relaxing. The room was on the second floor affording a view of the Irish coast. Comfortable bed and well equipped bathroom. A very clean house altogether and staff were most attentive. The only noise we heard were birds chirruping and the sea. Service was absolutely exemplary. The food was quite stunning and enjoyed without reservation. However, the price of wine was absolutely ridiculous with £12 for a small glass of pretty ordinary rose. £40 for a small glass of Pol Roger Rose as part of a wine flight with a 7 course tasting menu, and take a very deep breath if inclined to a decent dram of malt. Go if you have deep pockets and enjoy splendid food served with care. We enjoyed it but will not go again as we could not escape the feeling we were being somewhat overcharged for bar prices in general which left a slightly 'used' feeling. We are very used to paying for 5* accommodation worldwide and appropriate bar pricing, but this was inappropriate."

The Portpatrick Hotel by Compass Hospitality ★★★

"Great views over Portpatrick. Room was good spotlessly clean. Breakfast was ok , shame the coffee machine was out of order. Staff friendly and hardworking. The weather was warm and sunny so sitting on the big balcony looking at the view , catching the sun was lovely. There are a lot of steps down to Portpatrick and feels a lot more coming back up! You can walk down the road nearby. Had a great stay."

The Thistle Inn ★★★

"This little place was a joy to stay at. It’s tucked away in a little corner in the middle of town. As soon as I arrived, I was welcomed by the owner Sandy who was a gentleman. Very welcoming and hospitable. Yes the room is basic but I have to say it was immaculately clean, warm and cosy. Has everything you need. Kettle with Tea and Coffee and even bottled water and a little pack of tissues. I normally stay at The PortPatrick Hotel a few miles along the road when I’m in the area which is apparently quite posh lol but from now on I reckon I’ll be booking back into The Thistle. Thank you Sandy for making me feel so welcome. Important when a person is travelling alone. I will see you again for sure."

Quay Head View Aparthotel ★★★★

"Lovely clean apartment, only real issues were the TV is on the same wall as the sofa, so you can’t really watch it, although we were only staying one night so it wasn’t a problem. The mattress is very soft, which would be great for anyone who likes that, but we both woke up with bad backs. The star was knocked off because the blind in the living room was broken and there was no lock on the bathroom door, but for the price, and the location, I would absolutely recommend it to a friend."

Corsewall Lighthouse Hotel ★★★

"we have stopped here before (20 odd years previously when we got engaged) so revisted the hotel for our 20th wedding anniversary Although the owners have changed we received the same great service and the room and food were exceptional"

Luxury lodge situated idyllically on the edge of a small working farm ★★★★

The Harbour House Sea Front Hotel ★★★

"Really relaxing and peaceful stay in welcoming surroundings with pleasant staff. An overall memorable and value for money experience"

Fernhill Hotel ★★★
