    The only thing that could have been better was the shower room as the shower cubicle is very small when one guest is 6 ft 3 ins. Also there are no hooks for damp towels or coats/ jacjets

    We enjoyed our stay in the annexe and especially having the little conservatory. It was a large room and the conservatory has a great view.

    Unfortunately we had a storm come in during our stay and we did not get to play golf on the Dunskey golf course as planned but nothing the hotel staff could do about that. We had a more time to enjoy breakfast and facilities at the hotel.

    Our stay met our expectation having stayed there last year also. The hotel was clean, staff very friendly and attentive and the food exceeded our expectation. We love Portpatrick and we love staying at Fernhill due to its location and views of the village. Fingal our black labrador thoroughly enjoyed his stay too and the cliff top walks are stunning.

    The only thing I would say is the room had 5 light bulbs that were not working, 2 in the room and 3 in the bathroom. I could hardly see to do my makeup. We reported this at the desk and the man said he would see to it straight away. We stayed 2 nights and they were never fixed.

    It was a good location, the hotel was clean and had good quality furnishings. The staff were pleasant too. It has a lovely dining room looking down to the harbour and sea. The food was good

    Only small gripe the bed was too firm for my partner. Very small detail. Overall the stay was fantastic.

    Everything, the staff were very attentive. Hotel was lovely and rooms were very clean, location is amazing. Brilliant that we could take our cockapoo too. Overall an amazing stay :)

    The only thing I will say is that when you’re selecting your muesli, cereals, and croissants, the breakfast team are just basically looking at you as you take stuff and it’s a bit unusual. Looks like they’re standing over you at the bar counter and it's a bit offputting.

    We had a lovely stay here. The check in was fast and we had a lovely room in room 15. The room was huge with a lovely bed and an amazing view of the sea and the local village. The bathroom was ginormous, like something out of the Ritz. We had a very nice relaxing evening, enjoying the view from the room. Next morning we had breakfast which is really good. Overall, really nice stay.

    I was confused that it was room only as I always book B&B at the very least. It was very expensive for 3 nights with no breakfast.

    A larger portion of veg at dinner would have been welcomed but this is a minor issue.

    We had a lovely one night stay at the Fernhill. We booked the superior seaview room which was spacious with beautiful views over the harbour. The bed was large and comfortable and there was plenty of seating to relax in. The staff at the hotel are all very friendly, attentive and nothing was too much trouble. They even loaned us a pump to pump up our motorbike tyre! The food at dinner and breakfast was good and the vegetarian choices were better than usually offered at some hotels. The choice at breakfast was plentiful. All in all a lovely stay and we would certainly return.

    Nothing really … apart from machine coffee at breakfast … And the dinner menu wasn’t appealing - but tastes differ. Breakfast was nice though :)

    The view from window is amazing. Nice comfortable bed. Spacious room. Large bathroom with a bath. Other reviews said furniture was ‘tired’. Sure, it’s not new or modern a the wooden furniture is ‘lived in’ but it’s not a new modern hotel - adds to the charm! Soft furnishings were not worn or shabby, just not a modern style. They were all very clean and fresh and I had a great sleep in the room :) Staff very friendly and approachable.

    Shower curtain was a bit "clingy" & would prefer a shower that could raise/lower height.

    Large room with outside patio was brilliant, great to have so much space. Staff were very helpful & friendly. Great selection of fresh foods at breakfast & good choice of hot foods cooked to perfection. Good variety of starters, mains, desserts & cheeseboard on dinner menu, all beautifully cooked, presented & at very reasonable prices. Overall, standards were very high. Been to portpatrick many times but this was the best view ever & only a short walk to the harbour, absolutely stunning views.
