Breakfast was excellent, which included perfect poached eggs. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. The bedroom was spotless and very comfortable. The overall stay was excellent and I will be going back
IrelandGood sized rooms with very friendly and helpful staff. Food was tasty too.
United KingdomComfortable room and very friendly staff. Good food accommodations, delicious included breakfast.
United States of AmericaThe room was spacious, freshly decorated, warm and confortable. The McNutts blankets are a nice touch. My only glitches were, the mirror was not at standing eye level , which will never spoil a break. However the fan in the bathroom would wake the dead and the bath takes a contortionist act to get out of. Basically do not try this at home.
United KingdomBreakfast was superb and fab location friendly helpful staff
United KingdomSimple and comfortable. Food good, nice bar, good rooms. Close to several other restaurants all of which were good. Go swimming in the sea just at back of hotel.
United KingdomThe property is literally a 2 min walk to the beach which has miles of unspoilt views. Shops around it where open on the Sunday when we arrived but then seemed to close up for the rest of the week..really missed a shop just to get something for a picnic as we were out most of the days. Breakfast was amazing though so we stuffed ourselves as we knew it was a bit of a drive to the shop 😀
United KingdomStayed two nights. Very good short stay not disappointed in any way.
United KingdomA friendly family run hotel with great staff willing to help & always have a smile for the guests. Location was excellent, less then 3 minutes walk from a glorious beach. Food was lovely and varied. Accommodation was very good, comfortable beds & rooms. Special shoutout for Shane in the bar/restaurant who was exceptional & always willing to help. Highly recommend to anyone & will try and return soon.
IrelandBreakfast was great. We ate dinner in the hotel on both nights and it was very tasty. The room was great, very clean.
