We found the hotel adequate - nothing to get excited about. Disappointed that there was no hot water for shower on the night we arrived. Hotel a bit on the cool side and given the size of the room found it odd that there was only 1 bedside table - maybe being a bit picky. Staff all helpful, especially the... More

After much deliberation about where to go for my birthday we decided on Portpatrick and our choice could not have been better. We booked Skye, one of the cottages linked to the Downshire hotel. It was beautiful and the attention to detail gave us a very comfortable and relaxing week in a stunning location. The local shop just across the... More

I normally never review hotels, restaurants etc. but after my second visit to The Downshire Hotel in Portpatrick, I wanted to recommend this hotel to visitors to the South West of Scotland.

Staff very helpful - The Bar was buzzing both night we were there - we were on the 1st floor - noise was fine, although we... More

after a few drinks in one of the pubs in the village, noticed the board outside the downshire advertising a set italian meal. on looking at the menu it didn't seem to have lots of choices but did include a bottle of wine for 2. I must admit i was very impressed. The portions were very generous and everything was... More

We stayed here on 28/09/12 for 2 nights because it had been recommended by friends. We were given a warm and friendly welcome and shown to room 6 on the second floor. We found the circular stairs difficult to manage with our luggage. The room was small and basic but clean enough and we had a sea view. We did... More

Stayed for 1 night, thankfully no longer.. Room Allocated had wallpaper peeling off wall, a portable TV which was not digital and no digital box, so no TV!! Using as a base for night out, so decided to stay. In the morning tried to use hot water from 7.50am, none, thought might be due to too many people using at... More
