Welcome to the Harbour House Hotel website. The hotel is open all year round and assures you of a warm and friendly atmosphere, clean and comfortable rooms, a good bar and good food. Our location is ideal for those wishing to explore this beautiful part of the Rhins of Galloway. There is plenty to see and do locally, from sea angling to coastal walks, from exploring our woodlands and forests to visiting one of the areas many outstanding gardens. Golfers will be pleased to note we have no less than 4 golf courses within 12 miles - two of them right here in the charming village of Portpatrick.

The Harbour House Hotel, Portpatrick, was built in 1790 by the Admiralty for Commissioners for the Portpatrick New Harbour project. The hotel is listed as a building of Special Historic Interest. Glimpses of its history can be seen in original structural details and every effort has been made to conserve and reflect this history in refurbishment works.

The Harbour House Hotel, Portpatrick, is owned and operated by Julie and Steve Reynolds, who take a pride in offering personal attention and the warmest hospitality to their guests. Local knowledge is freely available to advise guests on Golf, Fishing, Sailing and the Botanical, Historical and Cultural places of interest in the locality. In fact, many of our local boat owners, golfers and anglers frequent our hotel, and their knowledge of the best marks, courses and landmarks can be useful to local and visitor alike!

The hotel holds a prime position at the centre of the Portpatrick sea front, overlooking the entrance to Portpatrick harbour, which for centuries was the British mainland end of the short sea route to Ireland. During the summer months the harbour is busy with small boats, fishing boats and all manner of pleasure craft. This close proximity to the harbour ensures our seafood contains much local fresh produce, with our meat and game being sourced locally in season wherever possible.

NB! 2009 is 'Homecoming Scotland' to mark, amongst other things, the 250th Anniversary of Robert Burns' birth. Expatriate Scots and their kith and kin are kindly invited to return to their roots, to revisit the haunts of their ancestors, rekindle auld alliances, renew friendships and show the family where their ancestors once dwelt. The programme of Homecoming events will include the world's biggest ever Clan Gathering in Edinburgh, the Celtic Connections in Glasgow, the spectacular Open Golf Championship at Turnberry, and the Spirit of Speyside Whisky Festival. Many more local initiatives are happening at the local level for that area's Clans.
We heartily invite you to visit Portpatrick during this time, and to book a stay at the Harbour House Hotel. See you soon!
