The Waterfront Hotel & Bistro

Very good food staff could not do enough for you parking easy small double room but very clean

Small room above the pub/restaurant but clean rooms and a great location. Great for a night or two. Great food.

Free parking, very nice bar, excellent food but above all the staff were lovely and appeared to be a great team who loved working there.

Portpatrick is stunning and staying at the Waterfront is the perfect choice. Great staff, excellent value. Highly recommended

Room in the annexe. Comfortable bed...decent shower. Lovely breakfast. Great value

Great breakfast, attentive staff, reasonable accomodation and on the harbour promenade .

Great location, room a little tired but fine for us. I was really upset to see that the beautiful blue painted exterior of the hotel, that made it stand out, has been changed to grey!

Adequate size room for a few days stay, in a lovely quiet location with a good view of the harbour.
Enjoyed the breakfast and we also the meals when we ate there one evening.

Our room was not in the hotel and we were put into a small room in an adjacent house, the door was very difficult to lock, one window wouldn't open and the other wouldn't close so security was an issue, very unclean and rundown, mould every where in the bathroom. We had called and emailed ahead well in advance about booking a table for evening meal as there was a Vegan in our party and were told that it was no problem, there was only a vegan lasagne on offer which we believe that was a frozen ready meal and the home made curry tasted like a ready meal also, the portions were small and did not reflect the price they were charging. We refused to even go for breakfast after the dinner the previous night. Needles to say we did not stay another night and will not be back. Port Patrick was lovely though, we managed to get a booking at another hotel close by which was wonderful and enjoyed the rest of our time there.

Good little hotel. Nothing too fancy. Nice size room . Shower and sink a tad small but does fhe job. Breakfast and evening food good but plenty of other places to eat as well.

A lovely view of the harbour from our room.
You get what you pay for. Shower room a bit small but its what they have refurbed and only thing that would fit
Not a lot of staff but lady who checks you in, serves behind the bar, takes and serves food orders for dinner and breakfast is amazing.

The waterfront and staff are lovely. Parking isnt so good. Great stay with lovely harbor walks

Good stay , clean comfortable room , lovely breakfast, excellent location

One of best meals ever had! Large portions, reasonably priced, good value. 100% freshly homemade. Batter perfect on cod. The lager was fresh and crisp. Great service and made welcome. Highly recommend. Nice relaxed atomsphere. Will definetly be back!

Yes the bedroom was small, but don’t let that put you off.
I made a minor hiccup which meant we had to stay in the Portpatrick hotel. The waterfront was excellent compared to our 1 night stay there.
Reasons for this
1. The staff, they couldn’t do enough for us from the minute we realised my mistake. They were friendly and helpful, going above and beyond what they needed to
2. Breakfast was cooked to order and was amazing especially the haggis. You can even build your own breakfast and increase the size. Was one of the best breakfast I’ve ever had
3. Clean and excellent location
This hotel definitely rates 5 stars

It was a beautiful windy sunny day and I fancied a basic sort of snack lunch and decided to sit inside in the bar due to the high wind
I ordered macaroni and cheese with chips
I was asked to pay for this when ordering which I did albeit I explained to the bar lady that this was not correct and I was entering a contract with the establishment
The bar area was fresh and clean
When my meal arrived it was excessively hot and probably microwaved !
There was no evidence of a beschemel sauce just melted cheese and the chips were not fully cooked correctly albeit they appeared pre-prepared.
At the base of the dish there was li fat only
I pointed out to staff my disappointment in the quality of food as poor —only response was that they would advise the chef !!! About the chips and that extra cheese is used on the macaroni
No offer of financial recompense was offered and did not wish to make a fuss
Most disappointing and next time in Portpatrick my business will be to another establishment
Very poor standard of food and customer service —most disappointed and certainly atrocious value for money

The rooms are the smallest we have ever experienced, especially the bathroom.The photos on Expedia are misleading as they are for a family room not a room for two people. It was like being in a closet. Our first room the bed was old and uncomfortable. The manager and staff were helpful in changing our room to one that was upgraded with a new bed. We booked a king size bed but it definitely was smaller.
The location is great-right next to the water.
If you know the room is very small and you’re ok with that then it’s a nice place. We felt like we were in an airplane trying to pass each other in the room.

Staff friendly and very attentive. Room clean and view over the harbour was brilliant. Breakfast excellent. We were lucky enough to park across from the hotel. Shower a bit small and pressure not that good but did the purpose.

Great location on waterfront, staff are superb especially Lauren who was super efficient and friendly, bed was comfy and room (6) was nice and clean. Breakfast was outstanding, full Scottish was freshly cooked and really tasty.
The en-suite bathroom in our room however was ridiculously tiny, so cramped that it was impossible to sit fully on toilet as legs hit against pipes under sink. You could reach from toilet to switch electric shower on as it was that close.
Water pressure was so low shower operated at a trickle and you had to step out of bathroom to have enough space to dry yourself but cold tap on sink was so powerful it sprayed water all over the bathroom.
Overall, staff were brilliant but the place needs an equally talented plumber!

Hotel was in beautiful town and right on the sea in the harbour, very nice rooms recently renovated. Breakfast was delicious. Staff were friendly and accommodating.
