Lovely hotel overlooking Portpatrick, public rooms all well laid out and beautiful decor, bedrooms to match. Breakfast was excellent too with views over the Irish Sea. Few niggles but none too serious to mention (each to their own) Well worth a visit- recommended

Alexandra Coffee shop is a small cafe opposite the towns museum. The dining area is small but very clean. The staff are very nice and the food they serve was very nice. Service is swift. We tried the soups they had on offer and sampled the cakes. All very tasty and nice and hot.

Had delicious family lunch: Daughter had scrambled egg with smoked salmon, which was scrumptious! Have been here many times and food is always of a very high standard. Magda is lovely and cheery and we always get a warm welcome. Highly recommend a visit!

Reviewed By David9134
We all really enjoyed our food. Menu had a great selection but staff were more than accommodating when we asked to go off menu. My wife is coeliac but was able to eat with no issues as they staff were understanding and informative. Chips cooked in their own fryer which means she was able to have them which is not always the case. Also when we received bread to nibble on she had her own gluten free bread which he have never had before usually she just gets left out so it was a really nice touch. Would definitely recommend and will return if we are in the area in the future.

Reviewed By howardfarm
Flexible timing warm welcome great views.... multi generational family visit ... variety of dishes .. good . Particularly light bites mussels ....Distractions were too much potato and good chips with virtually all dishes ; and blatantly too hot soup . Which caused light distress to two of our party , as they had to delay starting their first course!Portions sizes very acceptable.. not too large ..Pleasant wine by the glass . No alcoholic beer and lagers...Shared desserts were pleasing with coffees etc A very pleasant experience with the exception of soup and excess potato.Will return focusing in on light bites

Weekend away from the central belt, down in the Rinns/rhins for the first time. Found this place through TA and no regrets. Food was top notch and proper Italian menu not just pasta. Staff were lovely and owner was interesting and friendly even when our young son tore around the restaurant on a post meal sugar rush. Wish this restaurant was more local to me. Hello, and thank you so much for taking the time to give us such a great review. In true Italian style we always believe dining out is a real family occasion so we always welcome children of all ages, sugar rush or not ;)I do hope you visit this beautiful wee corner of Scotland again in the future and would love for you to call in and see us again at Papa Rabs.Thank you again.Take care,Rab
