"We liked how clean and fresh this property was. We found it very comfortable. Milk, teabags, coffee, wheaten bread, butter, cheese, oil and spices were all provided, as well as fresh flowers. There was an abundance of local animals to enjoy watching: horses, cows, sheep and housemartins. The pool table in the sun room was a welcome addition. All the bedrooms were spacious with excellent quality bedding. The downstairs master suite was particularly attractive. We would love to return! "

Top Castle of St John Hotel Reviews

The Waterfront Hotel & Bistro

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely clean hotel. Nice decor in room , toilet was very small but we managed fine as we are not large people. The food was very good and Staff were friendly. We will definitely go back again."

Fernhill Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was recommended to me by family and I emailed them the 2nd day of my stay to thank them. The hotel was excellent, a great location and outstanding view over Portpatrick. The meals were very good. The hotel was very clean and obviously well maintained with all amenities. The staff were outstanding, nothing was too much trouble and they were very helpful and polite. I will be going g back and will recommend this hotel to friends"

The Portpatrick Hotel by Compass Hospitality

4/10 Poor

"Rooms: The rooms are big but you can hear everything, from people in other rooms to them in hallways to foot steps above you in their rooms. Barely slept due to all the noise. Restaurant: good food but severely understaffed. Had our whole meal and not one drink was “ready” or brought over. I felt so bad for the staff. Views: these were amazing and so worth a visit but next time I’d just stay elsewhere. Overall: I wouldn’t stay there again but I would visit the area and have a drink on their patio."

The Harbour House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Best value hotel of our trip and the most comfy huge bed too. Ate at the hotel in the evening and that was tasty and good sized portions and a view of the sea from room and restaurant. The price was so good, they should be charging more, especially for breakfast. Staff were all friendly and helpful."

The Bruce Hotel

2/10 Terrible

"Hotel very run down, maintenance non existent. Cobwebs hanging from ceiling above bed. Dust everywhere, unable to see out of windows so dirty. Crack in bathroom sink, bath stained and dirty. One bed was stained terrible down the side. On the up breakfast was lovely but tables very sticky so crockery sticking. Apparently this hotel was/is used for homeless people?"

Woodland Bay Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed here while attending a wedding at the nearby Trump Turnberry hotel. The hotel is a short 15-minute drive from Turnberry and right on the coast road with fantastic views. The hotel has an ample car park and spacious rooms. We found the rooms perfect for our 1-night stay. Included in the room rate are various cold breakfast items like cereals, croissaints, ham in the fridge, fruit yougarts, milk for making tea/coffee. I would not hesitate to recommend this superb hotel."
