March 26 overnight stay.
Pros:

Our first time in Portpatrick and the Fernhill hotel, we booked a deal through itison. Hotel is very nice, all the staff were very friendly and helpful, we were also given a free upgrade, we had a room with amazing sea views and a balcony, 2 big comfy leather chairs and a queen size bed which was really comfortable.

We ate in the restaurant which also boasts amazing views, food was excellent and service also. I definitely recommend this hotel, we can't wait to go back again.

Pros:

Location is beautiful with excellent bedroom and harbour view.

Bathroom towel radiator was absolutely roasting. So hot that I burnt my hand. Reported it to management twice. Little interest in reporting incident. Didn't offer any solutions or medical help. Very poor.

Very good and enjoyable.
Pros:

The Fernhill Hotel has a great location high up looking over Portpatrick Habour ,On arrival we were meet by the girl on reception who was absolutely great and really helpful throughout our one night stay, all the staff were polite and friendly { apart from the breakfast waiter } the room was spacious and clean as was the well equipped bathroom with plenty of clean towels, if we are ever back in that area i wound not hesitate to book the Fernhill hotel.

Cons:

Breakfast the bacon was very fatty the haggis was just in a small heap, sausage had no taste at all, it was all served by a guy who looked as if he had just got out of bed and as miserable as a wet day, on the plus side there was plenty toast , honey, marmalade etc,
