Book Cheap Hotels in Machars of Galloway

"Had a great little break here in Portpatrick, helped by sunny weather. We were in one of the front facing rooms on the top floor. As advertised, the ceiling was low - sloped into the eaves at one side of the bed, so my wife had to duck a little when going to bed, but main part of room was over 6 feet, so fine for this 5'10" bloke. This may seem less than ideal, but the sitting area at the front of the room, had fab panoramic views of the whole Portpatrick harbour and beyond, which more than made up for ceiling height. Besides there are also rooms on first floor, which judging from hall height must be at least 10 feet. Dog friendly hotel, which is another plus. Anyway... great view, food was also very good. And singer on Saturday sounded good, although I didnt go into main bar area during the set, as would have been too much for doggo 😀. "

"Great hotel and staff. Enjoyed the meals. I love the grandeur of the old hotels."

"The young staff, most of them from the Stranraer area, could not have been friendlier, or prouder of their home town and surrounding area. At times there were signs that there were insufficient staff on duty, which caused delays at mealtimes and in the bar. The staff continued to do their very best; any resulting problems were due to this apparent lack of resources. "

"Our stay was in mid-March and the hotel was very quiet at that time. Our room on the ground floor was very convenient for the hotel pool which had a hot tub and sauna. The pool water was a bit too cold but the hot tub and sauna were very good. There are walking trails and a small lake nearby which is great for birdwatching. Also views of a ruined castle within walking distance. Restaurant food was nicely presented."

"Excellent country house hotel. The greatest asset are the staff who are welcoming , efficient and friendly. Room was immaculately clean. Grounds are beautiful to explore. Will definitely make this an annual visit. "

"Friendly, helpful staff. Spacious rooms. The decor was a little tired. Good location with plenty to do in the area."
