We stayed at the Braefield with friends and family for the weekend. The house is big with lots of space it accommodated us perfectly. There’s ample parking spaces and plenty of seating outside to admire the views over Portpatrick. The kitchen is well equipped and there’s plenty of bedrooms with en-suites. A couple of the rooms could do with having the walls re painted but this wouldn’t stop me from booking again. Overall it was great I would definitely book again as everyone agreed it was perfect for our group. Leah was our contact and she was lovely.

Great house for our family gathering of 11.Beautiful views, wecwere blessed with good weather.Great having a gf bedroom but no seperate w.c..The shared bathroom is up 1/2 flight of stairs from one of the bedrooms.Plenty glasses, but more dinner plates and flat baking trays would be useful.Nice welcome gifts of milk, fruit platter, biscuits cake and tea, coffee and sugar. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Got the local bus to Stranraer and ate in the Crown Inn at Portpatrick which was lovely. Pubs busy with live music..Steep incline to the property from the village, but not far. House very warm. XWould recommend this property.

We had a lovely holiday enjoying the view over the harbour and the capacious house and grounds. A mirror opposite the driveway entrance would help avoid potential accidents on the blind corner.
