Days Inn by Wyndham Lockerbie Annandale Water

8/10 Good

"Fantastic setting,we were lucky to be provided with a room which had a small balcony overlooking the water,so relaxing,bed was very comfortable. Parking was fine and free."

The Portpatrick Hotel by Compass Hospitality

10/10 Excellent

"Great location on top of the hill overlooking the village. Wild & windy night but slept well. Overnight stay. Comfortable bed & clean room. Bathroom could be updated as we had a shower over the bath. Dinner in the restaurant was nice. Second visit to Portpatrick as it is a favourite place. Would recommend."

Aberdour Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"The room was lovely but the sink in the en-suite was tiny & hard to get a wash or clean your teeth in without getting water everywhere. The front of the sink unit was already water damaged. The shower was good & easy to use. The lady who greeted us was very helpful & friendly especially as we forgot to take our key out with us & had to ask her to let us in to our room. Nothing seemed like too much trouble for her. There was a good choice for breakfast which was cooked to order"

Fernhill Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely location with great views over Portpatrick. It was such a wet day and we were delighted when we were able to have our room a little bit earlier than the check in time of 3pm, even more so, when our room was upgraded to a balcony room. As soon as you enter the hotel you are stunned by the terrific view over Portpatrick at the reception and then again from our lovely, bright spacious and very clean bedroom. Loved having the bath and powerful shower. We enjoyed a drink in the comfortable lounge before going for a walk. We enjoyed our dinner, pate, chicken and mushroom pie and fish and chips. The breakfast next morning was even better with the added addition of fresh fruit salad to the selection of cereals etc. My husband had the Fernhill Grill and I had the Eggs Benedict. The eggs were cooked to perfection! Staff all very pleasant. Thoroughly enjoyed our overnight stay and would highly recommend this hotel. Thank you."

The Birchtree Hotel

8/10 Good

"We stayed just the one night. The staff were very friendly and eager to provide good service. We enjoyed a pleasant drink on the lovely patio overlooking the river followed by a tasty meal in the bar. Breakfast was excellent . Our room was fairly basic with quite a small ensuite . The WiFi was good. We were pleased with our stay which represented good value."
