"We had a lovely stay at the Castle - the room was beautiful as was the food. The staff in the restaurant and those who welcomed us were amazing.

Top New Luce Hotel Reviews

North West Castle Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"All very good and I have no complaints. My only gripe is a minor one in that the bathroom floor is tiled but there is no bathmat, this means you have to be careful getting out of the shower. Overall, this is a fine place to stay."

Lakeview Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"The premises are excellent as is the wonderful host. The room was comfortable and spotless. The breakfast was first class. Would recommend wholeheartedly and would come back anytime. Regards Gary and Sharon Taber"

The Bruce Hotel

8/10 Good

"A comfortable stay with very helpful and welcoming staff. The hotel is a little tired in places but the room was fine and there was a good breakfast."

Fernhill Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The area is absolutely stunning with amazing views. The hotel needs a little TLC is a little antiquated needs to be brought into the 21st century only silly things like sockets that take phone cables etc, especially when you’re on business and need chargers etc: however what a lovely place to stay and I would cope lol. Staff were amazing all of them from the gent on reception who seemed to be everywhere to the lovely lady in the Bar and restaurant again she was a very busy lady with a joyful and friendly attitude. All in all a great place and most importantly I enjoyed my time there. Will most definitely visit again even if I have to drive out of my way."

The Portpatrick Hotel by Compass Hospitality

8/10 Good

"Great location with panoramic view of Portpatrick. Car parking on site which is included in the cost of your room as long as you register with reception. Very clean hotel . Dog friendly with dedicated areas of the hotel reserved for dogs and their owners. Breakfast is self service buffet. The plate warmer and the hot food warmer do not keep the plates and the cooked food warm. Coffee machine was broken so only instant coffee available at breakfast hence a score of 4 out of 5."
