Excellent location and the owners and staff were really friendly and helpful. We had our two dogs with us and they were able to stay in our room at night which ensured they were relaxed. We stayed for 2 nights over Christmas and enjoyed an excellent meal in the afternoon, which for us was a most welcome change as the first time in 33 years we have managed to get away on our own for the festive period.

A working lift would be helpful as my wife has mobility issues and found the stairs a bit tiring. However, to be fair the hotel’s website does make it clear at time of booking that the upper floors are only accessible by stairs.

I stayed here for two nights when visiting Strangford Lough, as my grandmother used to spend her summers there. Lovely room overlooking the Lough (I had room 2). Tasty cooked breakfast, included in the price. The owners, Chris and Marzena were very helpful and pleasant.

The reading lamps over the bed were no longer in use and had been replaced by a single bedside lamp (which was very nice soft light) - I asked for a second lamp to give some more light. The main light was working too but it's good to have softer pockets of light.

Absolutely stunning location and our room looked out across Strangford Lough. It was mesmerising to watch the ferry travel back and forth. The room was clean and had everything we needed. The bed was very comfortable and we had a wonderful night's sleep. There isn't a lot to do on a Tuesday night in May in Portaferry but we had a delicious meal in the Portaferry Hotel followed by a few drinks and a leisurely walk. Breakfast was amazing....so much food, we didn't need to eat again all day. Our host was friendly and attentive and very welcoming.

There was very little to do and nowhere to go. The only place to eat was the Portaferry Hotel but it was lovely.

We enjoyed lots of this trip.Great location, spacious room, amazing sea view, large comfy bed, friendly staff, great choices for breakfast, great area. Quiet at night. My 9 year old nephew had an amazing time.

We did not like the level of cleanliness in the bathroom. The dirt and grime around the base of the toilet, very dirty bin in the bathroom, both shower heads disgusting with black dirt and scum. The vent on the ceiling in the bathroom really needs to be cleaned. Also the child kept pointing out the dirt around the edges of the bed on the floor so under the bed could do with a hoover.

Dog friendly guest house with the most perfect garden for our little dog. Very comfortable property and friendly couple who were on hand to help with any request we had. Could not have had a better view from our room or more relaxed stay.

There really wasn't much to complain about. If I could make one suggestion it would simply be to an alternative to a cooked breakfast ie cereal and pastries with tea instead of the cooked offerings when staying for a longer period

Great location, hop off ferry and there you are! Easy access on arrival (later than expected but someone there to check.us in anyways) Lovely building with nice touch of character. Tastefully decorated. Great view of Strangford Lough. Good shower with shampoo and shower gel available. Heating on in bedroom, when we arrived in the evening to have it cosy for us.Super choice of breakfast. Pet friendly, so our woof enjoyed it too!

All good. Slightly low curved roof beside windows (room 5) so mind your head!

Absolute beautiful deceiving little gem of a pet friendly hotel, we booked very last minute but could not have asked for a more special little getaway, excellent outside space for our dogs to have a good run about, beautiful modern comfortable room and excellent facilities all round, the host who checked us in was a very kind friendly lady and I could not fault the his hotel in any way, the location was tremendous, will be returning , Thankyou for our delightful stay .

Not one thing

We went to a concert in the portico,so we were only a 5 min walk away. We had great fresh food in the narrows before hand. Staff were very polite and helpful. The room was cosy with a good size walk in shower and a sea view . Even though we had a main road outside, it was very quiet. We had breakfast which was delicious. Great value for money. The only reason,I didn't give a full score for the cleanliness, wasnt that it was dirty but rather a little mouldy in the bathroom, which is presumably just from condensation. Overall, cosy and great value for money. 😁

The Narrows is a lovely b and b as good as any hotel, Its a little aged but the room was as good as any hotel room with a large comfy bed, large en-suite shower room and good shower. Mini fridge was great also as it was 24 degrees outside. The entrance is through a lovely courtyard which captures the afternoon/evening sun and lovely to sit out on a good evening. Breakfast was so tasty I would go back just for it. Our hosts were lovely, kind and always accommodating.

It would have been perfect if the lift had been working as we had mobility issues but our room was on the first floor which was okay, otherwise everything was perfect.

We liked the location because it is right across the road from the lough and we were able to watch the ferry and other boats come and go and there's a lovely prom and also woodland walks nearby. There was a fridge in the room which came in handy for storing water, wine, etc.

Lift wasn't working so people with mobility problems had to walk up flights of stairs. When we were shown to our room it had a view but only from a low level window however the manager was kind enough to juggle around bookings so we were able to manage to get a room with a good view and full size window. Be careful to book bed AND breakfast if that's what you want on the site as we made a mistake and ended up paying for breakfast separately! We had to ask for a hairdryer which is normally in rooms. All in all it wasn't the ritz but you get what you pay for and the view was really lovely.
