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.
