Perfectly adequate for a few days in Portpatrick. The accommodation very much fits in with the landscape - compact yet has everything you need. Food was decent and plentiful.

An excellent location on the harbour. Staff very friendly and helpful. Decor in the dining room of a high standard. Friendly bar. Room small and en suite even smaller but high standard of cleanliness. Food very good and suitably priced from the menu.
