Waterfront Hotel and Bistro in Dumfries & Galloway

We heard the place had new ownersn so we gave it a try. So...Sat down and not offered drinks. 4 of us ate, the food was rubbish. 1 x tough Steak, 1 x awful cajun chicken pasta, I had to ask 3 times for the homemade tartar sauce that it says on the menu comes with the fish and chips - I was halfway through my meal when it arrived, my lad had a pizza...ok. The only swift thing to come was the bill but before I had chance to check it the card machine was in my face seconds later. We won't be back, worst meal in years. If the food doesn't improve place won't survive. If the pricing is what it is...make much better food!

We stayed one night at the waterfront to catch ferry to Ireland next morning we were given a room suppose to be a double but was so small we could not pass one and other as the double bed took up most of the room and very small tv at first we could not see a bathroom until we realised it was in the cupboard which you could hardly fit into and to sit on the toilet you had to reverse in as the sink was in the way luckily we are not to large as you would never manage if you squeezed into the shower you would have to open the concertina doors to get some room to dry yourself I will say it was clean but definitely not fit for purpose the public bar is so small and uncomfortable we went next door to a much bigger pub restaurant I am very sorry but can not recommend this to anyone

Lovely stay at hotel although room bit small and toilet tiny . But spotlessly clean bedding , staff efficient and polite , breakfast was great , free to choose juice yogurts cereal fresh fruit then choice of cooked breakfast . Lots of toast and piping hot tea . Made to feel very welcome

Priced menu outside was approx £2 less per meal than I was charged.......apparently they haven't got round to changing the menus outside yet.....hmmmm.

Disgusted by the way we were treated at the waterfront Hotel today. After realising they were only serving a brunch menu at 2..40pm we said we'd just have our drinks & go. The chef then came out & told the waitress to "tell us to f off if not.eating" the place was completely empty & im not surprised! Actually sickened.

We spent a couple of days in Portpatrick and booked for the waterfront. However we were given an attic room in another property which was outside and along a lane from the hotel.it was abysmal with loose was basin taps and toilet systern handle loose. We were banging our head getting out of bed and going to the dresser was the same. The breakfast was very bad the first morning with rock hard bacon and a soft blob of haggis and the rest was eatable ,just. The service was slow. It was better the next morning with scrambled eggs which was ok. However we had to go outside the property and walk down the lane to the hotel for breakfast. Just as we.l the weather was good.I wanted to go home after a few hours it was so bad.

Really friendly, helpful staff - made to feel welcome. Dog friendly too. Dinner is well priced and great quality. Seafood and pasta dishes recommended.

Expected it to be a pub with food but happy to try. It’s more a hotel with a restaurant. Food was nice and well presented however young staff were too much involved with friends eating there, had to try to get attention to look at dessert menu, then try again to place an order for it. It’s next sport to another good place, one is always full, I’ll let you guess which.

Cost exactly the same for one person dinner bed and breakfast as for two. Rooms tiny and needed hoovered round the edges. Television didn't work. Was told signal bad i had to bear with it! Bed was spotless and food good. For the price better hotels in portpatrick.

The hotel was lovely and room spotless clean. Food and service was excellent! Will definitely be back for another visit.

On a lovely summer's day, there is an array of places to eat along the harbour in Portpatrick. I liked the look of the menu here - a bit different - and am glad I gave it a try. Apparently it has just been revamped and the new menu was just a couple of weeks old. A warm welcome was a good start; the inside bistro area is bright and modern and well laid out. The server was pleasant and helpful about the dishes and all was well presented and beautifully cooked.

This really is a great little hotel in a splendid location overlooking the beach and harbour at Portpatrick. Our room was a small double, immaculately clean and comfortable. Breakfast was included and that was in a big airy dining room at the front of the building. Everything was very organised and clean. We liked having a large pot of tea on the table. There was a choice of cooked breakfast , toasts, cereals and fruit. We also had dinner here, outside in the sunshine, which we enjoyed very much. Great place, good location, friendly staff and excellent value. Highly recommend and would happily stay here again. Thank you

Food, Service and Location is Excellent. We were able to book online without any issues and were fortunate enough to get a an early Dinner slot. The Menu is Small in terms of some places in Portpatrick, and thats the key to to such Great Meal, the Chef's do EVERYTHING WELL. Lovely waiting Staff, attentive without being overly in your face. Just Perfect. Be ready for Beautifully presented Dishes in huge Portions, we had Fish & Chips and The Burger....not as plain as it sounds! Cheese Board was enough for 4 I'd say - with a Smooth Large Port each we could hardly make it back. Won't be eating anywhere else when we come back in the summer.

Nearly 60 years of travel and despite it's cleanliness, possibly the worst place ever. Stayed two nights in the smallest room I have ever been in. As for the bathroom, you had to have the door open if you wanted to use the wash basin. Our room on 2nd floor had a non-seaview and at night got all the noise from those using the staircase and in the courtyard below. Musician at hotel next door sounded like he was singing in our room. Young staff tried hard. Odour killers in stairwell foul smelling that permeated everything.

Nice seafront hotel. My room was at the back in a small row of cottages and was sufficient for my stay. The breakfasts were freshly cooked and plentiful. Staff were lovely. Evening meals were tasty and lots of it but would suggest booking a table in advance as it gets booked up quickly.

We couldn’t find anywhere that appealed for dinner in Stranraer; fortunately we figured out that the best eateries were nearby at Portpatrick. What a treat on a warm summer’s evening. Most of the tables outdoors at the front, looking out across the harbour, were taken but in a very warm evening, it was too hot for us to eat out in the bright sun. Indoors was still warm, but more comfortable. We were pleased to see some healthy items on the menu. Meals with boiled potatoes rather than chips and heavy options, along with vegetables. The meals came out in good time. There are clean, modern toilets and of course, when we are not in the middle of a heatwave, lots of outdoor tables. After dinner we enjoyed a very pleasant walk along the waterfront and up to a viewpoint as well as down to the wharf. A great place to spend a summer’s evening.

Very nice location. Stuff great. We had family room. Room was clean and had all equipment you need in hotels like that. Overall we strongly recommend to stay there if you visiting Portpatrick.

We came here early evening for food after a busy day visiting various nearby towns. Dining room was bright and sunny after a kind of dreich day and the sun came out during our visit. Food was delicious - all piping hot, freshly cooked with...

Lovely pub and great staff . Beer and food was good and a good vibe. Very friendly. Landlord was nice. Fab position and amazing views

Quirky layout of rooms. Adds to the character. Rooms clean. Breakfast was delicious both days. Excellent location. Would book again for basic accommodation with amazing food and views. 4/5 due to windows needing a clean.

The food was excellent, staff very welcoming and helpful, dog friendly in the lounge and bar which is great

We stayed one night and enjoyed our visit. The room was excellent with a sea view. The en suite was tiny but we knew that in advance and this was not a problem. Everything was spotless. Our only issue was with dinner. There was an...

They aren't responsible for the weather, but they have a lovely seating area outside. The food looked a little expensive, but what arrived was substantial, tasty with some fantastic real chips. Service was efficient rather than friendly, but we had a good experience.

This all started very well with a pleasant starter quickly followed by OK main and then NOTHING! we waited nearly half an hour and went looking for the waitress to get dessert menus which we were given. 20 minutes later we again went looking for...

Not the best Fish and chips batter like pastry uncooked. Desert (lemon marinade rolad) was good though.

Fantastic food, brilliant service. Very impressed with the service received , all very professional and courteous even on a busy Saturday evening. Burger is highly recommend, very very tasty

Had a few drinks in the beer garden during our recent stay. Great views, but the bar was quite busy and customers not very observant of social distancing.

We stayed overnight, the room is basic, a bit squashed and quiet old fashioned but it does the job. We didn't eat an evening meal here but had some drinks. The staff were friendly and enjoyed the company in the bar. We had a nice...

Unprofessional, unfriendly staff. This hotel is not following Covid guidelines. During the time we spent in the hotel tables were not sanitised, no track and trace was done and menus were handed by multiple persons. Avoid this hotel as their hygiene standards are very poor.

Ate here on Sunday with my family and I was very impressed. Good choice of meals on the menu and the food was really good all round. I had the chicken fajitas which were lovely. My hubby had chicken stuffed with haggis which he thoroughly...

Lovely place to relax and lovely accommodating staff. Some dishes better than other dishes but fantastic location for a lunch stop

Lovely young girl gave us a table. After that our food arrived. It was awful. The scampi batter was hard, the chips were old pre-cooked, re-heated. Partner’s fish in batter was dire as were chips. Why complain when you are only there for one meal....

Enjoyed top quality meal here cooked to perfection and with good presentation. Friendly staff attended to every need. Excellent value

We had 2 very good meals here, one of them we sat in the restaurant the service and food was excellent. The second time we sat outside and had a light lunch which again was very good, the. outside space is very nice and looks out over harbour and bay. We thoroughly enjoyed our meals.

Having walked around Portpatrick for a couple of hours decided to have some lunch. Looked at a few hotel menus and decided on the Waterfront. Lovely friendly staff and dog friendly. We sat outside as it was a beautiful day looking over the harbour.My husband had the mushroom and chicken soup. It was lovely and think and delicious. He then had the fresh prawns on a bed of salad. I had the scampi which was quite a large helping. Piping hot

The food is very good. All seems to be freshly prepared. A wee bit heavy handed on the black pepper. Chef might consider that customers would prefer to add this accordingg to their taste. Waiting staff should know what menu is. I asked about ingredients for fish crepe she was very vague. The dish came out and it had Salmon with it. I cannot eat salmon so had to swap meal with husband. The chips were just scrapsnand had been refried. Very greasy.Could not fault breakfast it was excellent.xx

We were excited to have lunch here as we knew it is owned by Torrs Warren - where we stayed earlier in the year and had a fabulous experience, especially dining. Unfortunately we were extremely disappointed by the experience here, firstly - no langoustines available. Chose burger as same price as BLT sandwich.. at nearly £12, which was average. And caesar salad - which was inedible. Salad taken off bill, but overall an extremely disappointing experience.

Great, friendly Service and the food for 7 was prompt and good quality. The Steak pie was packed full of tender chunks!Try the Eaton Mess or Sticky toffee pudding to finish it all off.I think this was the best food menus in the Village with something for all tastes.

Waterfront Hotel was a fantastic hotel. Room was lovely. We had a sea view. Bed was comfy. Food was delicious. Staff were very friendly and welcoming.

Mixed review this one. Firstly staff were all lovely and the setting is brilliant right on the front of Portpatrick. Our food was good but not amazing and it’s too expensive for what you get. Beer prices are above market average. Pint of Caledonian best £3.95 - really guys?? As the restaurant got busier we had to wait a long time for our deserts. It was only 2 kids ice cream and 1 x Eton Mess. The place was very busy though so I understand the kitchen was probably under stress. I’m not sure I would go back as it’s good pub grub but at top of the market pricing. If it was top of the market food I would accept it.

Large portions and well presented. Would not hesitate to dine hear again. Friendly and efficient staff.

Bestellungen dauern etwas, liegt an der Saison. Das Essen ist ok, aber keine Superküche. Zum Gucken und sein.. auf die Terrasse!

Good food but long queues to the bar when busy. The staff very quick and efficient considering the amount of people wanting to be served

Booked last minute & on arrival we were very pleased with the look & location.

Pleasant and efficient staff. Quick service and two enjoyable dinner meals. Reasonable value too so no problems recommending this establishment.

A group of golfers in for evening meal, having dined there previously last year (2018).

I was one of a crowd of eight who booked and visited the waterfront hotel for an evening meal after a game of golf in the Glasgow area. Although I heard only a slight murmering from the other guests they seemed to agree with some of the points I have raised. 1. Although the restaurant was not very busy the service was slow and the time between courses could have been quicker. 2. The soup course was not hot and would possibly considered cool. The main course of salad was well presented and tasty and a request for condiments was dealt with very quickly. The dessert course of vanilla Ice cream was very poor and not worth the money. Three small scoops of ice cream decorated with half a small strawberry was not to be considered value for money. I would not return to this establishment as I do not consider it to be value for the money.

We visited for lunch - staff were friendly and we got a table easily. The restaurant was quite busy but it just felt very clinical and bare as an environment -

Visited this lovely hotel/bar when in holiday in Sandhead. It is right by the harbour with plenty of free parking. Extremely dog friendly with the staff offering them treats whilst we enjoyed a very nice meal. Would definitely return and highly recommend if you are staying in the area.

What a delight, a wonderful bistro serving simple and delicious food. Freshly made chicken liver pate Beautiful fresh mussels Delicious fresh sea bass Portion sizes were generous Service was friendly, polite and efficient Chef is excellent Highly recommended but you need to book

Stopped here on bank holiday Monday for a bite to eat. Ordered for 4 people with 4 drinks. Starters arrived but our drinks didnt. Had to ask waitress about them. Ordered breaded myshrooms. 5 pretty small mushrooms on the plate. Portions rather small for the starters and are nearly 6 quid. Didnt think they were value for money. The split pea soup was rather salty to the point you just couldn't eat it. the spag bol was cold in bits. But was ok but mostly inedible. 45 quid down for the pleasure.

I recently visited the waterfront for lunch with my year old daughter and husband. we sat outside, so i went in to order our food at the bar. This in itself was a farce as the lady serving didnt seem to know how to use the til and at one point asked me why i was still standing there...... she hadnt given me my drinks yet having got distracted and stopped pouring them.

Just came home from a night at the waterfront. What a lovely place Staff extremely helpful and friendly. Food really nice. Waterfront in great position overlooking the sea. Will defiantely return xx

Went for lunch took special Sunday deal soup and roast beef it was excellent food was very good staff very attentive and very nice would go back again some view toilets very clean good appearance of restaurant was not in bar where they do food as well

We visited the waterfront hotel in Portpatrick at the end of march and couldnt rate the visit morw highly. The staff were friendly the food was delicous and a nice full Scottish breakfast in the morning and a selection of drinks and cereals. We were in a room to the back which had a comfy bed and a small shower room, the room was immaculate. We both had a lovely time in a lovey hotel and beutiful place. We will be going back for a visit.

2 course Dinner for 2 with drinks was about £40/£50. Reasonable and big portions. Can recommend the chicken tenders and the steak pie. There was a large table in at the same time as us and there was no real wait on food. They staff were very nice and attentive too. Would eat here again if we were in Portpatrick.

We had a wonderful meal at the Waterfront- both the food and hospitality were excellent. Despite being visitors, you leave feeling as though you have made a friend. Thank you.

What a great find. It was quite quiet as it’s out of season. The kids portions are big only slightly smaller than the adults ones so perfect for big kids. I had the Cajun chicken burger. It was brilliant it was actually Cajun chicken. Not just chicken with a Cajun sauce. Would highly recommend. Not too pricey either.

This hotel looks great from the outside and is very clean and well kept . the room were a bit cramp having seen 3 of them . When shown are room my six year old asked the receptionist why the bathroom was in a closet . It was the smallest I have ever seen . Room 12 . We use our friends to shower it was much bigger. room 14. It should be said that some room are in a converted house exsesed out the rear of hotel across the back yard. The hotel had no atmosphere in the bar just felt very clinical. we spent our time next door .all that said The staff were very helpful and pleasant and the breakfast was good. Looking forward to returning to Portpatrick it's a lovely seaside village but will probably stay in different accommodation.

My wife and I stayed here last night and had an excellent stay.

Staff most helpful, seating is spacious enough you are not on your neighbours knee, food was delicious, chicken stuffed with haggis very nice and other half had a fabulous burger, we both had sticky toffee pudding which comes very highly recommended, average prices for the area, menu changes to accommodate seasonality, and fresh and delicious, would not hesitate to go again

Popped in off the road for a pre Xmas lunch. Food great, plenty of choice and good portions for the price. Staff really friendly and helpful which added to the experience. Restaurant has a lovely modern feel but with super view of the harbour. Well worth a visit!

We booked to stay at this hotel before our early ferry to Ireland. On the website it looks nice so decided to go ahead and book. The room cost £70 for one night for two adults and our daughter. On arrival around teatime we were checked in by who appeared to be a owner, very pleasant no complaints and were shown to our room. The room was small though functional with adjoining room with bed for our daughter. I went into the bathroom to be greated by a lot of dust and a huge ball of hair very visibly on the floor.. I stupidly just cleaned it up and put it to the side as these things happen. As it was tea time our daughter was hungry we went straight to a neighbouring restaurant for dinner. We arrived back at about 8 to try and get an early night before our early ferry. I was exhausted as traveling all afternoon and was in early stages of pregnancy just wanted to get to bed. This is when I saw the bed was COVERED in human hair. Not just a few though covered on top and in the bed. I felt physically sick. We went to reception speaking to the same gentlane that checked us in. He seemed to almost not believe us initially and came to look with the housekeeper. Although I had already cleaned some up there was still lots! He apologised and said no other room we could go to as was fully booked. Said give us 10 mins to change bedding. We were shown to bar where we received complimentary drinks, where we had to wait for 3/4 of an hour. I saw the man come back down however he got a young waitress to speak to us and say rom was ready and apologise again. Went back to room Which thankfully smelt of bleach and had a good clean. By this time we were all exhausted and the hope of an early night was gone. I had hoped to speak with Manager again though did not see him as he had passed it to the young waitress. I feel he could have spoken to us himself though obviously wanted to avoid us. I was not happy paying £70 for the quality of room we received, as the object of booking room was so we got a rest before travel. No one when checking out so sadly it was what we were charged. Based on this experience I would not be going back or recommend.

very enjoyable lunch. good menu to choose from. Modern decor, friendly staff. will return when in area. nice sitting out area beside harbour. plenty parking in area.

Very popular; we were lucky to get in without booking (on a Thu in October!)

Having initially encountered a menu which offered no vegetarian sandwich options, we enquired if it were possible to have a cheese baguette. This was not a problem, however, on arrival we were shocked, stunned and dismayed to be brought an unsubstantial half baguette which was far from edible... the bread was dry and on the stale side and lacking in butter. I decided to return the food as I truly felt it to be sub-standard. A gentleman, whom I assumed was the manager, arrived to ask for some customer feedback. During this discourse , I was asked “ what exactly did I expect from a cheese baguette?” What I expected was fresh bread, butter and a full sized baguette which is what was advertised. I was told by the charming gentleman that he had tried the bread and there was nothing wrong with it and that expecting it to be buttered was just my personal preference. The tone of the conversation was quite antagonistic and he was definitely not interested in any constructive customer feedback... The moral of this terrible tale is that it’s hard cheese if you want an edible baguette at The Waterfront. In fact the experience was so bad that when I next encounter fromage, I may very well cry! We was robbed! Whilst the kind gentleman did deduct the price of one half baguette, we were still left with a not inconsiderable bill of £16 for three coffees and a merde half baguette! On a lighter note, all was not lost... Morrisons saved the day by providing a perfectly delightful sandwich for £2:00...long live Morrisons!

A good selection of food, and served by 1st class staff who, were more than helpful. Chelsea was fantastic through the day when we booked the meal and we stayed for a few drinks before we went on a small pubcrawl.

My wife had the fish & chips,but when the chips came they were very hard,so thay got replaced.The fish batter was very dark like it was cooked in old oil & the grease it left on the plate was not very nice,although the fish tasted nice,& the peas were like bullets.

Kindly booked us a table so that we could sit in the dog friendly area of the bar. Was very disappointed that there was no mussels even though on the menu. Was informed that they couldn't get mussels from anywhere! Otherwise the food was nice.

We stopped here for lunch and enjoyed the seaside location and buzz from the numerous diners at outside tables, even though we chose to eat inside. There was a short delay because of the lunch crowd but the staff were friendly and helpful. One of us had sea bass in butter and lemon while the other opted for a beef and Guinness pie. The fish was nice but served with excess vegetables, including mini corn that were not stated on the menu and not wanted. The beef "pie" was pleasant but we don't understand how simply adding a puff pastry cap to a stew makes it a pie. (This appears to be a common interpretation in Scotland.) Anyway, we had filling meals.

Went here for a meal with friends and it just as good as before so pop in if your in the area. The fish and chips is particularly good, I can also recommend the FeedBurner and steak pie. Do also try the sticky toffee pudding.

Great, quaint place. Service was great. Lots of choices for breakfast and the rooms were cute. I would stay here again.

We stayed 4 nights at this place. 3rd till 7th Sept. Check in was fine. We had room 6 on top floor overlooking the harbour. The room on first impression was clean, compact and bijou. Nice clean white sheets, and towels. Bed was comfortable. Tea and coffee facilities in room. Plenty of wardrobe and drawer space. The en-suite room was a dissapointment. Very very small to say the least. Then we noticed the shower cubicle tile grouting was covered in dirty black mould and mildew, and also the shower head and hose. There is no need for this as it could be cleaned easily. The toilet was not cleaned during our stay and there was no facility to clean it ourselves. We used the coffee sachets over the first night and following morning. These were not replenished for the next two days, despite having asked 2 female staff in the morning and evening. We eventually had to leave a note for the housekeeper to replenish on the Thursday. The room was not hoovered during our stay. Breakfast was good. Various cold selection and also hot menu. We did not appreciate the housekeeper coming through the dining room one morning at 9.20am, whilst guests were still eating, with mop and bucket and cleaning products to clean the toilets. We did not eat any evening meals in this hotel.

Stop for a snack/bar meal. Disappointed in the meal. Small portions of chips and not very nice. Pleasant stafff but probably won’t be going there again.

We travelled to portpatrick whilst staying in the Dumfries and Galloway area. Very foggy day, but lunch was excellent, good service and large portions, very good value for money.

Called in for lunch. The menu though basic was good, lots of options and reasonable price. Ordered meals and drinks at the bar, the service was very good, positive person who clearly enjoyed the work. We waited around 15 mins, everything ordered came, presented nicely and tasted as good as it looked.

We visited Portpatrick for the day and couldn't decide where to eat...luckily we chose waterfront...the meals were beautiful and the kids meals were a very very generous size...staff were very helpful and friendly

First time here and a last day treat with my parents before they headed home. We chose here because we hadn’t been before and we now live in the area and like to give everywhere a try and the menu online seemed to cater for my folks tastes .

Went to this restaurant with my wife and mother in law and could not have been more impressed. The service was given by three wonderful, cheery and efficient ladies, the food was outstanding, the beer was good and well served, and even the toilets were excellent. I was the only one to have a starter and chose the haggis stack - it was just wonderful with an amazing sauce. My wife had langoustines which looked amazing and she tells me were excellent. I had a wonderful chicken and mushroom crepe, which I barely had room for. My mother in law, who is not the easiest to please had the sea bass and was very impressed by the size and quality of her meal.

Great selection of food for the whole family. I had fish and chips. The batter was superb. My husband had langoustines which were great. Lovely atmosphere in the bar but the ventilation from the kitchen needs sorting as every now and then a big waft of fatty fryer smells came our way and clung to our clothes. Great food and service.

On a day trip to Portpatrick we opted to try the Waterfront as it had banners outside saying it was under new management and we like to give folks a chance

This place was recommended by a golfing party who stayed on a half board basis but the Waterfront have both let them down and embarrassed them.

Food is plentiful, enjoyable and the staff are friendly. We ate here as part of our stay at the waterfront at the end of July

We have been regular customers of the Waterfront for over 16 years and got to know management/staff very well so decided to give the new team a try. Very sad to write this review.

Location is very good being situated right on the sea front. It is a casual Hotel and the staff are all very pleasant.

Always gave this place a miss before as it never appeared busy but decided to try it for lunch today as it's had a change of management. Good decision. Staff very efficient and friendly Everything spotlessly clean both indoors and out. Excellent location with good quality food from a menu with plenty of choice.

This was one of two places to eat that we preferred during our stay at portpatrick. Menu had sufficient choice and the food was excellent. Prices in line with good quality pub food. Staff pleasant and helpful...very accommodating and confident with nut allergy requirements.
