The Waterfront Hotel & Bistro

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.

I had booked a classic room with king sized bed, pictures looked good. Arrived to find we weren’t even staying in the hotel but a cottage offering the smallest rooms I’ve ever stayed in with a shower and toilet in a cupboard. Place needed a really good clean, double bed was two singles pushed together, one had a wonky spring. Communal area in need of a good clean too.

Nice clean basic room but had stunning view .Will definitely go back

Had a great stay in hotel and really friendly staff and food is amazing the location is amazing and parking just short walk away

Excellent overnight stay, nice breakfast and dinner. Great location. Staff excellent, bar did not cater for my needs as no gluten free beer on tap or in bottles.

Nice wee seaside hotel, getting renovated just now..never caused any issues whatsoever! Lovely food very nice staff...good value for money!

Loved the location! Our room had a view overlooking the harbor. Some remodeling going on but did not disturb our experience.

This two-day break was perfect. Although the rooms and bathrooms were quite small, the space was cleverly utilised. We were fortunate with the beautiful weather, which allowed us to enjoy hiking along the coastline before retuning to sunset dinners. The staff were incredibly friendly, and the room was spotlessly clean.

We were nicely suprise by the accomodation and hospitality! Highly recommending for a short break.

When we arrived the staff were very helpful, and although we had arrived a couple of hours before check in, they advised us that the room was ready and we could drop our luggage off. They informed us that the car parking is anywhere in the public parking area, and there were plenty of spaces directly across the road from the Hotel. The Hotel itself is right on the Waterfront, although the name may give that away, and there is an outside seating area, to enjoy the sunshine with a few drinks from the bar. Some renovation work was ongoing in the hotel, but this did not affect our stay. The room was small but comfortable and the bathroom whilst very small was well thought out in the space allocated. The bed was comfortable, allowing for a good nights sleep and the shower was powerful. Breakfast was the usual mix of a cooked breakfast, along with a selection of cereals, yoghurt, bread and pastries, the cooked breakfast was very enjoyable and filling. We also had a meal in the restaurant one evening, the menu was extensive, and the quality of the food was very good. All in all a very nice stay, with friendly staff and we would definitely return in the future. .

Staff very friendly food very good nice quiet hotel would use again

Stay every year in PortPatrick & this year booked a seafront room thinking would be better. Apart from the views it really isn’t. Building work in the room next door which disturbed my Sunday afternoon. Dogs are allowed to stay and one dog opposite my room didn’t stop barking! The loud noise on Sunday after in the bar below was terrible, I really though a fight had broken out, the language was disturbing. I’ll be booking Harbour again next year or Crown, as the waterfront is in poor condition. There is some work going on. However my room wasn’t very clean (wasn’t dirty) just didn’t feel fresh. Bed sheet just constantly came off as it was too small! The bathroom is a disgrace!! The size is ridiculous for a more expensive room! The mould in the shower cubicle. So dated and far too small for the price. The shower water pressure cannot be described as pressure as there was none! Like trickles coming out! The hairdryer is dated and again no pressure. Gave up trying to dry my hair!

Nice peaceful stay not the room on website but comfortable enjoyed

Hello, let's be fair, the property is in need of updates it's being done which is great it's not done over night possibly get it done then open after a shut down, it's a difficult situation l guess family and staff are great and they have not owned it long , fair prices and great food and drink so good luck with the updates, especially in the showers, and with water pressure without a pump on the top floor....

Lovely stay and for price with an excellent breakfast provided , room on smallish side but for the price it’s exc

Amazing hotel lovely room comfortable bed staff lovely and very welcoming food lovely great stay

Very accessible. Breakfast is great. The staff were very obliging and the sea views were tremendous 👏 👌 👍 Oh, and the room was excellent.
