Owners very drunk on our arrival

Reviewed By Mmf270

As an experienced and frequent traveller both here in Scotland and abroad, I have to say that my experience at the Blinkbonny was simply bizarre. I have stayed before and knew what to expect. Clean, pleasant, nicely maintained gardens, cheap but cheerful. Unfortunately, I wasn't prepared to be confronted by an extremely drunk and aggressive owner. Admittedly, there was confusion of what time we had to check in and we did arrive late (1940 hrs), however one of our party had gone earlier to collect the keys. I personally arrived to be confronted by Robert (owner) who could hardly stand up or string a sentence together. After respectfully listening to him, I apologised for any inconvenience where he settled down. I went into my room to drop off my bag and on exiting my room he confronted me again. The lady owner was so drunk she entered one of out groups room ( for which she apologised when we left). The rest of our stay went smoothly however it was very awkward. Either Robert was ashamed if his behaviour or couldn't remember what he had done. Anyway, it was the platinum jubilee and perhaps the owners were enjoying the festivities a bit too much. I'm genuinely sorry to have to submit a poor review but feel I must inform future patrons as I myself always consult reviews before booking.

The Waterfront Hotel

The Waterfront Hotel is right on the harbour in the scenic holiday village of Portpatrick with its beach and quaint harbour . We have 15 en-suite bedrooms, many with sea view . Our menus, are a combination of fresh fish meat pasta and vegetarian options. Bar meals are also available on our popular Terrace area which is the perfect place to ‘people watch’ and take in the stunning views of the harbour ,whilst enjoying a drink or eating a meal. The area has many activities to offer - including fishing, walking, and golf, tennis,bowls, and riding as well . The Dunskey ,Stranraer or Wigtown golf courses are all within easy reach .

Sad to say AVOID

Reviewed By jonathanp230

We have visited before and loved the food. The menu has been drastically reduced in size and is very unimaginative. We ordered the soup which was very nice. The main course was fish and chips and it was awful. By the sea , restaurants around serving fresh sea food and this was tasteless, pre battered fish - completely tasteless and very over priced. We had 2 waitresses - first was excellent second looked like she wanted to be anywhere else and by this time so did we! Sorry guys - never write a review like this but it was very very average. You really need to up your game when there are other pubs and restaurants so close who are in a different league. Bitterly disappointed

Mount Stewart Hotel

Six bedroomed boutique hotel with bar and restaurant

Family meal with our dog

Reviewed By CathW143

The staff are so helpful with every request, and happily reserved us an outdoor table so the dog could join us. Food was excellent quality - I had the chicken & mushroom filled crepe with chips. The crepe and sauce were delicious and the crepe kept its texture rather than becoming a soggy mess! My teenage fussy son devoured a huge garlic bread pizza and most of a margarita pizza too! They also willingly made small adjustments to the dishes for each of us both for dietary reasons and also personal preferences. We have been 2 years in a row and will be back again next year ? we can’t recommend this place any more highly!!

Wonderful stay!

I have came to Portpatrick most summers since I was a small child but never stayed the night. It was my boyfriend and dogs first visit so I decided they deserved a wee treat with some dinner and staying over at this lovely hotel. From the price and mixed reviews I was a bit worried but I’m pleased to say my expectations were exceeded! First off, my dog is a rescue and has never been on a “holiday” so I was a bit nervous how he’d be somewhere new, luckily the staff were super friendly and always stopped to make a fuss of Kai which really made the whole trip for me as it put me at ease so much. The staff were great in general nothing was too much bother, good sense of humour and chatty. Really made the stay for us! There was an enclosed garden down from our room which meant after we were done for the day we could take the dog out there if he needed a pee. The room was small but the deal was cheap, besides, I’m a big lass and I managed with me my man and dog perfectly comfortably! The bathroom was clean and spacious enough. Nice hot shower and fluffy towels. Working TV, kettle and tea station, dressing table with nice view of the harbour. We also decided last minute to have dinner and it was great albiet a little pricier than we are used to where we are from. We had mussels and a bacon cheese burger. Chips were lovely, fresh tasting potato. Onion rings also had a lovely crispy batter. My boyfriend was super impressed with his burger, I had the mussels which were great tasting my only gripe if any was that there was a bit much broken shell in the sauce so I couldn’t eat it up like soup at the end. But I did not highlight this as I still enjoyed it and the staff were so lovely we didn’t want to be picky. The dog was allowed in the bar while we ate and again the staff were great with him. Worth noting the drink prices are quite reasonable. Breakfast was nice, we had some people staying below us who were very noisy during the night and we could hear everything so although the bed was comfy this did disturb us slightly though not the hotels fault just worth noting it’s easy to hear other guests. I’m sure they had to put up with me trudging up the stairs. All in all it’s a great hotel for the price and the staff were fantastic and very accommodating. The room we got was small but great views, decent bathroom amenities. We will definitely be back!

Reviewed By LynM375

We had a very friendly welcome when we arrived for our weekend stay. The room ( 2) was large and well furnished, and had lovely bed linen and fluffy towels also small toiletries. The shower room was very roomy and very clean. The breakfast was great with such a large choice, and nothing was too much trouble. Mary even brought a sausage for our little dog Lucy to eat for her breakfast. We will definitely be visiting again when we come back to the area.

Carlton Guest House

Ladies golf trip

Reviewed By Duncandug

Just spent the weekend at Carlton house. It is first class, each bedroom beautifully decorated as are the public areas. Very large dining kitchen stocked with everything you could possibly need, lovely sea/ harbour views from all rooms facing the front with landscaped sheltered gardens at the back. Fab showers and beds, great time had by all!

Apartment No. 19

Disappointing

Reviewed By Craft36

We booked the one bedroom apartment for a week,in order to explore this part of Scotland, and where the apartment is located is ideal. The apartment is associated with The Mount Stewart Hotel, we ate there a few nights, enjoyed the meals and the staff were pleasant and friendly. The accommodation is described as ‘boutique’ with luxury surrounds, this does not apply to the quality of the fittings/finish. There were a number of things that required maintenance, which I let the hotel know about on checkout. The apartment is dark due to little natural light - do not expect light to be coming into the bedroom as seen on some pictures! The bedroom and the kitchen back onto a covered area which seemed to be used by kitchen staff and held bins. Opening the bedroom window was not ideal due to the smell of food. On a practical note there is no two-pin plug for charging a toothbrush so pack an adapter. Overall, expensive for what it was.
