We spent a lovely long weekend at Rickwood House. It was superb! Nothing was too much trouble for Maggie and Fred - and we were a bit troublesome (not intentionally) The rooms were spotless and really comfortable and the breakfasts excellent. Great location with lovely views. We loved being based in Portpatrick as well. It is such a lively, friendly... More

Recently returned from another very enjoyable stay at the Rickwood, think it was our 6th visit! From Maggie's friendly welcome to the immaculate well furnished rooms and delicious cooked breakfast, we can't find fault with this place. An added bonus for us is that we can take our dog with us free of charge! Thank you Fred & Maggie, hope... More

We stayed at the Rickwood for two nights and had a lovely break, Rooms are very comfortable, everything that you need, breakfast fantastic and hosts are great. We would stay again without hesitation. First class and a well deserved No 1 on tripadvisor!!

One never knows what to expect when booking on the internet, we've had some disasters! We were absolutely taken with Rickwood - we had such a warm reception, the house is spotless and our room was very comfortable with a great view. Maggie clearly loves her job and it shows in so many ways that make the difference to ones... More

A truly great find in the delightful harbour village of Portpatrick. Everything that others have raved about is all true. We loved staying there, and even booked an extra night. For a small hotel the lounge conservatory was a real bonus. Maggie is a delightful host and made us so welcome. She also helped us plan our day's touring of... More

The weather in Port Patrick was cold and crisp but our welcome from Maggie and Fred couldn't have been warmer! We thoroughly enjoyed the comfortable and relaxing atmosphere at Rickwood House where our hosts succeeded in making us feel at home. Breakfast was generous and delicious - served in the dining room with a lovely view of the garden and... More

we booked to stay here on the strength of other reviews and were totally satisfied - helpful, friendly and informative hosts, really nice room, excellent breakfast (and home-made shortbread!), all at a very good price. Portpatrick is a nice little fishing village and we plan to come back to explore the area further. When we do we know where to... More

Well, where do I start! arrived to a fantastic homely and friendly welcome from Maggie & Fred, room more than adequate and breakfast top drawer! Then the snow came, blocked in for nearly 2 days, no power, no mobiles who would've thought a world without technology, however Maggie & Fred came into their own, provided all of us with hot... More

Well done Maggie & Fred yet another fantastic New Year trip. All thanks to your amazing hospitality. Only 6 of us this our 6th year but we still had a brilliant time - we all as ever managed to relax & unwind completely. As usual breakfasts were delicious and we all had the 'breakfast special' each day. Our friends who... More
