The Rickwood House Hotel, Portpatrick

We are a family run guest house – Visit Scotland 3 Star Gold accommodation. Maggie & Fred Findlay are your hosts and have run Rickwood for the last 10 years. We describe ourselves as a Hotel Style Guest House as we try to combine the facilities of small hotels with personal touches and attention to detail of a quality Guest House or B&B.

Our aim is to provide the best 3* Guest House Accommodation in Scotland. Our recent Gold Award puts us in the Top 10 of three star Guest Houses / B&Bs in Scotland. In March 2011, we won the Scottish Hotel Awards Guest House Customer Care Award

Rickwood House is situated quietly, near Portpatrick Dunskey Golf Course, overlooking the village and the Irish Sea yet we are only a few minutes walk from the centre of Portpartick. We are also handy for a short stay if you are going to Ireland on the Cairnryan Ferry or Loch Ryan Port and would like to see what South West Scotland has to offer.

The house known today as Rickwood House Hotel was built in Edwardian times for the Factor of Portpatrick, Dunskey Estate, and was known as The Factors House. In 1959, it became Rickwood House Hotel.

Our Guest House has been modernised to a high standard and offers quality accommodation in six stylish bedrooms. All have en-suite showers, some have baths also, well stocked hospitality trays and DVD players. Two are on the ground floor.

We have a conservatory lounge for our guests to relax at any time of day either with a drink or just to enjoy the view. We have a large garden with seating areas for your comfort.

Our master bedroom has been refurbished to a luxurious standard and is named the “Factors Suite” – to provide that extra touch of luxury. Please see our rooms & prices page for full details.
