The Waterfront Hotel sits directly on the harbour in the scenic village of Portpatrick, in Dumfries and Galloway, south west Scotland. It's a small, quaint hotel with a nautical theme, offering twin, double, sea view double and family rooms across three buildings connected by a garden. There's a bright restaurant and a popular terrace for taking in harbour views across the Irish Sea, with fresh, locally sourced food served seven days a week. The team aims for a relaxed atmosphere, and the hotel makes a good base for exploring nearby beaches, gardens and walks. Further afield, you'll find Stoneykirk Aviation Museum, Stranraer Museum and Logan Fish Pond, with Stranraer station around six miles away.
