I had two nights booked at the Portaferry Hotel and enjoyed my seaview/lochview room so much I booked another two nights. The room was reasonable size and clean, and was complete with a lovely good sized ensuite bathroom. The breakfast staff was delightful. Many thanks to Kateland for excellent service and a friendly breakfast chats. There was a meeting room I was able to use to work a few hours on my laptop. The internet cut out a few times but nothing serious. The wee town is lovely and great for a stroll. Sunsets are nice. Two grocery stores are just a few minutes walk away. The ferry to and from Strangford and Portaferry runs on a regular basis for less than £3. Also available is the city bus into Belfast which takes just over an hour. Portaferry Hotel is a great location and with beautiful views and nearby conveniences. For those who want a town with a lot to do, Portaferry is probably not your first choice. For those who want a beautiful relaxing time, stay as long as you can.

I propped the window open with a trash can. However, that will be remedied soon since the new owners are having new windows fitted for the entire hotel very soon.

Loved our four poster bed and the antique furniture in the bedroom. Tea tray beautifully laid out with china teacups and a choice of biscuits. Fantastic view of the Lough and ferry ⛴️ Breakfast was great..Good selection and freshly made .. Service was good.

Some repairs needed to the taps in sink in our bathroom.. Window wouldn't stay open in the bathroom... Sash cord probably broken.. Dining room not in keeping with the old fashioned feel of the rest of the hotel...and cleaning items in clear view took away from the over all feel.

Breakfast was lovely. Evening meal was lovely too.

There was a large wardrobe pushed up by the bed, making it difficult to access the wardrobe or get into that side of bed. There was a bedside table but you couldn’t access the drawer. The room would have been vastly improved without both items.

The hotel is a small hotel, the staff are very helpful and friendly. The room was adequate for our needs. It was a small double room., bed was clean and very comfortable Towels were fresh and fluffy..the hotel was family owned but has changed hands in the last year.. the style and decor is old fashioned style which is quaint. Siobhan the receptionist was very helpful. Breakfast was lovely and plentiful, good choices to suit all tastes. Portaferry is a lovely wee town the local people are friendly.

This hotel is in a beautiful seaside town. The people are so friendly and the area is very well maintained. The views are so pretty. The hotel itself is very comfortable and food was lovely for dinner and breakfast. Staff were so friendly and helpful. I had a lovely room looking out at the sea and the bed was so comfortable. The hotel is full of charm and fab antique furniture.

The food was excellent and the staff very friendly

The chowder at dinner wasn’t quite the consistency one would normally expect, tasty but a bit watery One of our party simply wanted poached egg, sausage and bacon for breakfast. We were told that there was no flexibility on the cooked breakfast and could only have the full cooked option. Some of the food went to waste

We had a great room with a fantastic view of the bay. Evening meal was delicious. Peppercorn sauce was slow at coming out. Breakfast was delicious too Eggs Florentine was cooked to perfection

There was only one double plug socket by the door which meant the kettle or any charging shad to be done behind the door and on the floor.

A lovely stay with lovely staff. Room 10 with excellent views over the Strangford Lough was just wonderful. We would love to come again. The evening meal was very tasty. We also so enjoyed popping to the Dumigan’s pub just around the corner, as featured in the Lady In The Wall TV series with its really friendly regulars. There was good wifi despite an indication when booking that there was none. This allowed us to listen to Radio Caroline's internet broadcasts. Quite apt as its just 33 miles to where their Mi Amigo ship was equipped out in 1964!

Location is ideal and peaceful, staff very friendly and helpful. Food was excellent and tasty.

The only thing that could be improved was location and shortage of electrical sockets, there was one behind door which is not really helpful, firstly if i use the hairdryer theres no mirror and also kettle had to be plugged in there to boil. I found a socket underneath the dressing table so its not accessible

The hotel is located right on the seafront and my room even had a view over the lough and to the ferry. There are seats outside and you can sit and watch the world go by. Food in the hotel was very good quality both for the evening meal and the breakfast.

The restaurant and breakfast room was a bit basic in terms of decor. Melamine tables and bare walls.
