Food was excellent. Staff very friendly. Overall good value for money.
Room was clean but a bit dated. Toilet was uniquely situated in what looked like a wardrobe.

The location was excellent to enjoy the setting sun. Also ideally placed to explore the surrounding areas. Breakfast was very good and set us up for the day. The staff were helpful, friendly and very welcoming. No problems parking
The evening menu was a bit limited but apart from that we were more than satisfied with our stay.

we thought the food was great and the views over the bay were lovely. we especially liked the massive onion rings, haggis and goats cheese pizza. the hotel was nice and quiet and you could relax when the weather was poor and you wanted to stay in your room.
The Tv reception wasnt great but it wasnt a major issue when you were out and about but if the weather was poor so was the reception. that is not a complaint as we didnt come on a relaxing break to watch tv, but it could be addressed. The room needed an information pack for things like fire exits, meal times and wifi connections.

Although the room wasn't perfect we had a really lovely stay. The staff are lovely, so friendly and accommodating. The breakfast is amazing, tasty lots of choice and great quality. The location is stunning, Port Patrick is a beautiful place. You get great value for money. I would highly recommend a stay at the Waterfront Hotel.
The room was very warm, we think it had underfloor heating which we couldn't control and remained on all night. There was a heavy picture with a mirrored frame just perched on the radiator, not sure if it was supposed to be there or if putting it on the wall got over looked. The fire alarm had no cover. The bathroom is very small, the sink is really difficult to use without getting water all over due the the placement of the shelving above.

Location was excellent. We had a sea view -our room had a lovely small bay window seat looking right onto the sea. Room had everything we needed. All the staff were very attentive, nothing a bother and happy to help. We would like to say a big thank you to Jade, Rachel and Tanya who are wonderful staff members. Port Patrick is a beautiful part of Scotland, lovely community spirit as this was our first time visiting there. Weather was excellent which always helps. Food in the hotel was delicious-we were DBB, no complaints, good choice and good portions

Food was lovely, breakfast was served hot and quickly, Evening meal was also lovely - staff were lovely. Rooms were spotlessly clean and well decorated - some of our party said bathrooms were a little small. Location was great. On arrrival girl on reception was so friendly, introduced herself as Lauren and said just to give her a shout if we needed anything. Throughout our stay she was so accomodating - arranged a table for breakfast/lunch for us all to sit together (10 of us) and the same through in the bar area. Lauren is a credit to the hotel she was so friendly and helpful. Breakfast staff were really nice and helpful as well - think when staff are nice makes your stay so much nicer.

The staff were very hospitable and nothing was too much bother for them. They responded to all requests with positivity and a smile. Special mention to Lindsay who was extremely helpful/chatty. Our room had a sea view - ideal from which to view the storm whilst being warm and toasty!! We felt our dinner, bed & breakfast deal was good value. The food was varied, delicious and plentiful. Given we visited offseason, public parking was straightforward and available. Previous reviewers have noted how small the bedrooms/en suites are. We can only agree, although the en suites are functional, surprisingly powerful shower and ingenious in design!
Nothing other than not being likely to spend more than a couple of nights given the restricted space, and lacking confidence parking would be available nearby in high season.
