Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers stunning views of the harbor from the rooms, which are newly painted and have a fresh carpet, and good bathroom facilities. The service was excellent, including room service and housekeeping, and a delightful welcome drink. The location right down at the harbor in the Isle of Whithorn is unbeatable, with easy access to seafood restaurants. However, the dining experience in the soul-less restaurant fell short of expectations. Overall, a great stay with gorgeous views and impeccable service.
The hotel is situated on the harbour front in the Isle of Whithorn, offering a lovely stay with freshly painted rooms and new carpet. The bathroom facilities are great, and the shower is lovely, but there are some minor cons to consider.
The hotel offers lovely rooms with a view and good bathroom facilities. The service was exceptional, especially with prompt room service and a warm welcome drink. The location, though away from the harbour, provides a unique experience in the conservatory at the rear. The dining experience was delightful, especially with freshly baked European bread. Overall, the facilities were top-notch, making for a comfortable stay.
