8/10 Good
"The hotel is in a great position overlooking the harbour. We had an amazing sea view which they upgraded us to. It was clean but very tired. The bathroom wants desperately to be updated even though everything worked. It made the room look dirty even though it wasn't. The beds were springy could do with new mattresses. But as I said it was all clean and did the job."

"Had an easy, friendly check in, Views from reception were amazing. Had booked a balcony sea view room which was located down a flight of stairs. Room was large with seating and table. Bathroom a bit dated and noisy plumbing but shower over the bath was good. Nice big concrete balcony with lovely view over Portpatrick. Breakfast was delicious and all staff were nice and friendly.

The Harbour House Hotel

8/10 Good
"It is right next to the water and has a nice position and view of the rest of the small town (village). We would stay again if we had to, as we couldn't find a place to stay in the actual town of Stranraer the Inn is located in Portpatrick). It was adequate for the price. We ate somewhere else, but the restaurant seemed busy. It was also pretty quiet for a pub/restaurant in the summer, which we appreciated."

The Kenmuir Arms Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Kenmuir Arms hotel. Located in a wee picturesque village we found the staff friendly and accommodating. Room one was very clean with a very comfortable king-sized bed and the shower had great water pressure. Highly recommend the creative food prepared by international Chef-Patron Christopher Dougan (recently awarded in February 2025 Scotland's Dining Discovery of the Year and 5 AA Gold Stars and 2 AA Rosettes). Every meal was creatively prepared with local ingredients and fine dining flair, yet not overly pretentious. Chef was very accommodating for my request for gluten-free tasting menu at dinner. Every dish was delicious and it was a delight to not know what dish was coming next. The full Scottish breakfast with homemade sausage, black pudding, and haggis was a great way to start each day. The pub had selections of local beer and spirits. We were visiting the area to see Sam Heughan’s Galloway Distillery. It was a treat every afternoon to have drinks made with Harbor Hills Gin and Sassanach Vodka on the patio near a babbling brook and a stone bridge."
