Top Castle of St John Hotel Reviews

The Thistle

10/10 Excellent

"Good stay"

The Portpatrick Hotel by Compass Hospitality

8/10 Good

"My overall view is 'faded grandure'. Most of the hotel needs a complete refurbish. The staff were very helpful and did their best with poor facilities. Having stayed here before it was as I expected. My only negative feedback was the lack of clarity on 'half board' that does not include all courses for dinners this year (only starter and main - NOT pudding) It's reasonably priced for the facilities and suited my group of 12 golfers"

The Harbour House Hotel

8/10 Good

"Food was fabulous. Recommend the full Scottish breakfast. The crispy brie was one of the most delicious things I have ever eaten. Staff are so friendly. The hotel rooms were clean but dated. The bed is uncomfortable as mattress needs replacing, you can feel the springs. The sink in the shower room is so dinky it is almost impossible to use. Water goes everywhere. Glad we only stayed 1 night. General maintenance in rooms and corridors needed. Dirt and paint stains evident in communal areas of hotel. Bedroom windows rotting so don't recommend staying. Do recommend bar , food and staff. Fantastic views over harbour from room."

Glenapp Castle

10/10 Excellent

"Glenapp was the last stop before home, on our NC500 honeymoon. The staff as always were delightful & very helpful. The welcome is always special here & there were plenty of help to carry all our unorganised belongings to accomodate us all. This time we had our dog with us & Glenapp's policy suited us well, he had a welcom pack & was made extremely comfortable. Our room was spacious & well maintained. We dont expect dogs to be allowed in the restaurant area & the policy was that Ozzy was aloud to stay behind in the room. We ate in the potting shed of the Azalea, We were greeted by Jen, a lovely chatty, bubbly & profesional resturant manager. As we ate early & the other couples didn't have an issue, she very kindly allowed us to have ozzy sitting quietly at our table. It shouldn't be expected but honestly just the small personal touches & personalities is what make your stay special. We will be back to try our the new "Nest" Many Thanks"
