Nice room with a fantastic view of the harbour from the huge windows and balcony. Staff were very friendly and helpful and the food in the restaurant was very good (although the haggis in the breakfast was rather sloppy). Would definitely stay here again.

We really enjoyed our stay and would love to go back some time. The views were beautiful and it’s a tranquil setting. The food was good, the hotel team were excellent and it’s conveniently located close to the harbour (although note, if you have mobility issues, there are steps). Pets are £10/ night extra which is fairly typical.

The only thing that could be improved were very cheap somewhat flimsy plastic toilet seats, which felt a bit like unnecessary cost-cutting.

I have honestly never stayed in such a shabby hotel. The standards were way below average. Dirty, old, smelly and so outdated I doubt it's been decorated since the mid 80s. The only saving grace was the livelychap from Hungary on reception who did his best to help. I cant say the same for the receptionist who couldnt care less when I checked out and proceeeded to go for a smoke right outside the door! Portpatrick is a lovely place but unfortunately the windows in this hotel were so filthy I couldn't take in the view. Avoid this place! I wish I had...

The property is well placed with fine views. The staff were excellent and the rooms and meals were very good. Straight forward short walk to the town and sea front but it is steep for anyone with mobility problems.
Great location for a short break.

If hotels could get gems, this would be a diamond

Great hotel with spectacular views from our room with a balcony and in restaurant, only downside was broken loo seat which was a small inconvenience. Comfy bed, good cleanliness and staff were very friendly and efficient. Food was delicious for dinner and breakfast. Definitely would go back again for longer than 1 night next time. Highly recommend it.

We stayed at Fernhill during a recent visit to the area to visit family. The hotel is well situated for the Southern Highland Way and other excellent walks and attractions in SW Scotland.

We would definitely recommend Fernhill for your next visit to Portpatrick.

Admittedly we booked late and were allotted the last room.
However, that does not mean we should put up with a room which smelled musty, was cold and dirty. The dirt was not just one day's poor cleaning but a build up over many weeks/months.
We could hardly get to the toilet for the position of the wash hand basin.
The edge of the shower tray was filthy, as were some of the adjacent skirtings. The chrome was rusting on towel rail and shelf above whb. Cobwebs and dust prevailed in the en suite and room.
The electric socket next to the bed was detached from the wall and left exposed.
We did voice our complaints at reception, backed up by photos taken.
We opted not to take breakfast and check out early.
The receptionist did not charge for our evening meal, which we could not fault, in light of our complaints.
However, we are now unlikely to return to Fernhill nor recommend it to others.

Very disappointed.

We had booked a specific type of room but were given one on the lower floor which had a patio door rather than a window. Staff at the hotel, initially told us this was due to a fault with a room door and another room waiting to be cleaned after a dog had been in it. We were also then told that Hotels.com had changed the type of room booked. We checked with them - they had not! The room we were given meant we could not keep the room ventilated overnight which made for less than comfortable sleeping. Whenever we did open the door in daylight hours we were subject to the smoke and ashtray smell of the smokers in the room next door. There was no hotel information in the room, only one cup and no bottled water - which was specified on our booking. The dust and cobwebs around the room were unacceptable and very different from our previous stays. Dinner was exceptional - food and service, but not enough for us to consider a return visit. The staff we dealt with were all very pleasant but no one seems to be in charge.

Disappointng.

Pleasant staff.Stuck in the 80s. No room service. Phones not working. One small bottle of water in double occupancy room. Trouser press not working. Toilet seat broken. Balcony/patio needs a jet wash. Large stain on wall above radiator. Very poor quality toilet tissue. Shower head mouldy. Small pillows and no extras. No cushions for pation chairs. One packet of small biscuits in double occupancy room. No information in room - such as restaurant times, breakfast, times, TV instructions, menu and prices. Breakfast ok but no mushrooms, baked beans, hash browns on offer. Orange juice poor quality.
