Rickwood House is situated quietly, near Portpatrick Dunskey Golf Course. We overlook the village and the Irish Sea yet we are only a few minutes walk from the sea front 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 details. We also have a ground floor twin bedded room and king-size double room upgraded to a similar standard as The Factors Suite.
