disappointing self catering
basic self catering accommodation as we were not in the hotel itself. good service but unable to sort out the issues caused by hotel.com, ie we booked as B&B hotel .com. did not carry this through. beds clean but really poor mattress. needs a revamp and overhaul of beds and furnishing.okay overall for price we paid but would be really disappointed if peak prices were paid. excellent location

Lovely overnight stay in Portpatrick
Had a really nice stay at the Harbour House. Staff were all very nice and helpful, building was exactly as I expected (homely) and bedroom was grand. Great view of harbour when I opened the curtains in the morning. Would definitely recommend and will be back for sure

Smallest bathroom I've ever been in. Room wasn't service in the 4 days even when I asked for the bins to be emptied. Breakfast very average and evening meals over priced.

Beware of live music
The hotel should mention that they have live music on Friday nights. Was on the top floor but could still hear and feel the music. could not sleep between 9pm and midnight. If I had known, I would have book elsewhere as we had to get up early and leave in the morning. People in the room close were so noisy.

Not a pleasant trip
A number of items made by stay there unpleasant: 1. Their page on Hotels.com says that they have parking. When I got there I could not find their carpark so I rang to ask them. I was told they don't have their own carpark as such, but there is street parking. I had to park about 350 yards from the hotel and walk in the pouring rain with two suitcases. 2. I was told my room had a partial sea-view. There was no sea-view at all (see attached photos). 3. The table I was given to eat my meal at was dirty and sticky, to the point that I could not even rest my arms on the table (see attached photo). 4. The mattress was really cheap and thin. Every time I sat on the bed it felt like I was sitting on a brick wall. It wasn't very comfortable to sleep on either.

The check in was excellent the lady at Reception whose name was Jennifer could not do enough for you. She was professional charming polite very helpful. I did not have any issues but my partner did as in the next statement. Next morning at breakfast we found that we were not checked in for breakfast even though we confirmed this with Jennifer the staff who were on said we were not and got quite rude about it one whose name was keiran was not happy we had turned up at 9.30. He said we weren't booked in. He stood over my partner in an aggressive behaviour and said YOUR NOT BOOKED IN..RIGHT. He then left and the other staff member offered us a table which was dirty which was pointed out so cleaned it down then took ages to prepare it. We eventually got something to eat. Whilst we were eating my partner overheard Keiran swearing at the other members of staff. Late on that day my partner confronted him about the way he spoke to him at breakfast and he informed him that he argued with him, he turned round and said your still arguing with him, so we left. The following morning we came down to breakfast we were shown to our table without any fuss the staff were polite and helpful. In the evening my partner asked the kitchen staff if they could put his gel packs and freezer blocks in their freezer which they did so. Upon checking out we handed the key over I went to load the car I left my partner waiting for his freezerpacks, to be told there wasnt any. Worst experience of our lives

Property address is listed on Expedia as Stranraer but is in fact some nearly 7 miles away in Portpatrick a lovely harbour village which I would recommend however location when travelling is key and should be precise for travellers who have a specific location in mind. Staff were lovely. The room however was the smallest hotel room we have ever occupied in the attic of a 3 story property next door. It did not have a room name or room number on the door and felt like an overspill for when the hotel is over booked. We could only stand fully upright at one side of the bed and not stand/fit comfortably in the shower.

Don't be fooled by photos
Àll I can say is whoever took the photos for the website is a genius. The hotel is tired and desperate for a renovation the mattresses were not only cheap and uncomfortable but really worn out old, cheap and uncomfortable. The actual bed frame was also unstable . However, the linen was clean as was the room .
