Great B&B in Portpatrick
Very pleasant stay at Blinkbonnie. Great welcome from Lesley when we arrived. Comfortable room with all the facilities needed. The cleanliness was exceptional. Breakfast was also very good. Blinkbonnie is very well placed, a short downhill walk to Portpatrick which has several pubs to chose from for an evening meal.

Blinkbonnie Guest House was a delightful, intimate and warm place to stay. The beds were comfortable and cozy, bathrooms were good and the breakfast service fantastic. Lesley and Richard were so welcoming and kind. They went above and beyond to insure we were happy. I have to say, the views from Blinkbonnie were just incredible. I highly recommend!

Just 2 of us.
2 of us stayed for 2 nights in an en-suite twin room, very clean, small, but enough for us. Very friendly couple run this lovely villa in a quiet area of the village only a 7 minute stroll from the harbour area, although it is situated up a small incline which might be an issue for guests with mobility problems. A decent breakfast with a few variations are served each morning. There is a kettle and tea/coffee/hot chocolate in the room as well as bottled water. Mind you we weren't keen on the sachets of coffee on offer!! All in all it was a very good guest house and we would recommend it.

Fantastic Find!
The Blinkbonnie is an outstanding B & B! My cousin and I stayed in a twin bedroom. It was small but perfect for us. The bathroom was newly remodeled. The beds were comfortable. And, the room was spotlessly clean. The whole B & B was spotlessly clean. I was impressed by this; I even check the corner behind the bathroom door--clean! It's a rare find when I am willing to go barefoot in a hotel room. This was one of those places. Oh, and the innkeepers were professional and welcoming. I can hardly wait to go back to Portpatrick so that I can stay here again! The views from the breakfast area are spectacular and are only matched by the wonderful breakfast. Seriously, you can't go wrong staying here. The Blinkbonnie is a gem for the price!

Lovely B&B in a quaint seaside village.
Leslie and Robert run a fine establishment and Leslie makes a fantastic breakfast. Check out Campbell's restaurant on the waterfront if you like fresh and well prepared seafood.

Cash or cheque only
The only minor problem we encountered was that the Guest house di not accept Debit or credit cards and only accepts cash or Cheques. This was not highlighted by Hotels.com and could have cost us a charge if we only had credit cards with us. The Guest house and the couple who run it are great but Portpatrick is not the ideal place for things to do especially when the weather is poor.
