“Very welcoming and comfortable B&B, with a full scottish breakfast to match.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 August 2009

We booked The Braefield for a long week end, using the previous 2 reviews as a guide. We were not disappointed. The Braefield is in a super position overlooking Portpatrick and is just a few minutes walk into town.

The room was comfortable, with all the usual TV, tea making facilities, and ensuite shower room.

The lounge downstairs was very comfortable, with Sky TV, and tea making facilities there as well.

Breakfast was very good, full scottish, and a very good selection of cereals, and also fresh fruit.

The staff and Anne Moffat the owner could not have been more friendly or helpful.

This was a lovely place to stay, we went to the light house at Mull of Galloway, which is a day out in itself as long as the weather is good, which it was on that day.

In less good weather we went to the harbour and watched the waves crashing in. We also managed to see the resident black Guillemot in the harbour itself.

We hope to come back at some point in the future to maybe do some of the 'Southern Upland Way', and the Braefield could not be a better place to start or finish.

The Crown Hotel by the harbour was very pleasant to eat at in the evening, their fish dishes being particularly tasty.

“Friendly B&B in gorgeous location”

This B&B stands on a hillside with a few other Victorian villas overlooking Portpatrick harbour. The views from the front-facing rooms and the dining room are just stunning. You can lie in bed and see trees, greenery, pretty rooftops and houses painted many different colours, fishing boats and the sparkling blue waters of the Irish sea beyond. Well, the weather was good during my visit! The B&B was very clean and comforable, nice breakfast, nice little touches such as range of breads for the toast. The proprietor Anne Moffat was very welcoming and took a genuine interest in what and where here guests were going. A very nice stay, I hope to visit again sometime. Interesting point, the TV got Northern Ireland TV rather than Scottish, so the local news programmes were interesting but not too useful!

  • Liked — Views from hilltop location
  • Disliked — Not too many places for evening meals roundabout

“Friendly, good price, good breakfast”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 June 2007

This is a bit sad to admit, but one of the reasons I picked this place is that they have a large private car park (many of the other B&B's in Portpatrick have on street parking only and I’m particular where I leave my car).
Anyway, Braefield is located on a steep hill about a 4 minute walk from the waterfront (dont walk down the hill you drive up, walk down past the putting green).
Since there were no reviews to go on I didn't know what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised. We received a warm welcome, were shown the nice sitting room and escorted to our room. It was spacious, clean and bright. My only criticism is that the bathroom could have done with an extractor fan and the shower needed the sealant replaced - pretty minor given the amount of time I spent in the place).
Breakfast was a tasty affair. Cooked to order and served with a smile.
I was even allowed to keep my car in the car park after checkout while I had a wander around the town again...result!
Definitely recommended.
