Fernhill Hotel

Stranraer

Got off to a great start.  Nice room, slightly dated but that only added to its charm.  Room was spotless as was all other areas of the hotel. Icing on the cake was a magnificent view from the large windows.   Dinner & service was great.  Sadly it was all downhill from there.    Had shower in the morning and needed to use the hairdryer.  It kept cutting out due to it overheating or a loose wire.  I went to reception to ask for a replacement to be told there was none and as the hotel was full one could not be retrieved from another room.  I was then sent back to my room with a potentially dangerous hairdryer.  I wasn't taking anymore chances and had to go for breakfast with soaking wet hair.  After breakfast we went to check out and settle our bill.  We had a £40 voucher towards dinner the night before and we had been careful to note what we had and what the excess we would have to pay when checking out.  For good measure we even took a picture of the menu/pricelist.  The rude receptionist that had sent us back to the room with the faulty hairdryer was on the desk.  She asked us to pay an amount that was not consistent with our records.  We then asked to see an itemised bill.  The bill showed a charge for "deposit refunded".  We asked what this was and she said it was a refund.  We asked if its a refund why is it added to the bill?  She then hummed and hawed and asked if we had a drink at the bar (we had paid cash for our drinks) - what that had to do with adding a deposit was beyond us.   To cut this long review short - check your bill - do not accept an amount without seeing an itemised bill.   And take care with the electric appliances!!

It was all going so well until.......

Hotel is a bit dated and feels a bit like an old folks home. Room 12  was great and  clean enough. Could do with bathroom repaint and usual wee bits of mould in the bathroom dealt with. Main areas reception ,dining room and bar were nice overlooking the bay . Staff were fabulous very polite and attentive l. Whisky's very overpriced for what they were. Didn’t eat in hotel other than breakfast which was a good selection and fried breakfast was good. Evening meals looked ok from what I saw. Overall can’t complain but with wee tweaks could be nicer.

Weekend away

Fantastic staff, location and hotel. Dog friendly, staff went out of their way to make us and our dog welcome and comfortable. Our room 44 was huge with an outside balcony with seating area overlooking stunning views of Port Patrick and the Irish sea. No more to say, if you have a chance, go.

Fantastic staff and stay

My wife and I are just back home after a 2 night stay at the Fernhill Hotel. We had a lovely time , this is a great hotel in a stunning location with the most Amazing view of Portpatrick.
It's not a New Hotel by any stretch of the imagination and some places are showing signs of wear but nothing drastic and it all adds to the Hotels charm. We stayed in room 46 which was HUGE and had a stunning view of Portpatrick Harbour.
Breakfast was Brilliant , Fresh and plenty of choice, we ate in the Hotels restaurant for one night and the food was good , cooked well and well presented at a reasonable price. The thing that stood out about the Hotel was the Staff, everyone we came into contact with were Brilliant, Friendly, Helpful and very Professional, my wife took a shine to the Gardner. All in all a great stay in a Lovely Hotel, thank you to all involved 👍🏻

Great Hotel , Fantastic Staff.

Stayed at the Fernhill Hotel last Saturday. We were only there for one night but could’ve easily stayed for a few more. We had room 42, which is one of eight with balconies and fantastic views of the harbour. Yes the room is a little dated, but this only adds to its charm. It was also spotless and kept at a nice temperature. 

The staff at check in and at breakfast were very helpful and friendly. Big shout out to Matty who checked us in and kept us well informed about the Hotels facilities. Only downside on our short stay was the superking bed, it was too soft for us. The breakfast we had before we left was very good and there was quite an extensive menu. Dinner is available at night but we had chosen to eat when we were out.

We would certainly look to stay at the Fernhill Hotel the next time we were in Portpatrick and we would try and get a room that gives us those amazing views.

Lovely Hotel with amazing views 👍

Can't fault this lovely hotel in Portpatrick. Immaculately clean, fantastic room with patio doors overlooking the village and the sea. Lovely restaurant with real starched white table cloths (makes a difference to me :)) Great food and lovely staff. Ok the pillows are a bit lumpy but the bed is comfortable and the pillows are an easy fix. Well done to everyone :-)

Can't fault it!

Really good hotel with lovely views of Portpatrick. We had a cheap deal from 5pm and were surprised to have a nice spacious room with patio doors, terrace and a great view!  

All staff were really nice and friendly. Our room had 2 large leather armchairs and loads of space to walk around. The bed was very comfortable and didn’t squeak or groan every time you moved (pet hate!)!

We had dinner and breakfast there. Dinner was really good, I’d highly recommend it. Breakfast was also great (though the haggis was a bit greasy for me).  

Note: It’s a steep walk up from the harbour so not suitable if you have mobility issues.

Really good hotel

Lovely hotel with breathtaking views of Portpatrick bay. Friendly , helpful staff, spotlessly clean, good quality of food in restaurant, only slight downside was no cocktails available  in bar but this was due to the fact, they had just reopened again two days earlier and didn't have all their stock in yet. A very short walk from hotel down  to Potrpatrick itself. Would highly recommend .

Beautiful hotel

Spent an overnight in the hotel and enjoyed our stay.
The  hotel is somewhere between  3 &4 out of 5.
On a plus the room was spacious and immaculately clean albeit a wee bit dated.
Staff friendly and helpful.
Breakfast was excellent.
On a negative evening meal was disappointing .
We would definitely return but probably dine out next time

Overnight stay

Rosie and her hubby were outstanding.I could see how much they wanted to improve everything about the place. I will return and tbh only on the fact of how they made us feel. Hotel is dated but they are not! I wish you all the best. Bespoke hotels are very fortunate to have you as management
