Comfortable & relaxing with fabulous food.

Food was the highlight. Compliments to the chef….very tasty, creative menus Loads of choice in bar menu and fair prices. Wonderful array of options for breakfast. Room with a view and bath. Plenty towels. Chocolates, welcome card and free drink were super bonus…WELL DONE!….means a lot! Comfy bed, lovely linen. Only negative was the television….is a bit small and there was very intermittent connection, but I only wanted the `News headlines, so it didn’t matter to me. Lovely, friendly and helpful staff.

Beautiful location with a view of the water! Room was big, clean, bed was comfy, and we enjoyed our stay very much. The weather was cool so there wasn't a need but A/C is not in the room. The fan provided was really nice! Highly recommended.

Very comfortable beds and lovely and clean. Bathroom could do with refurbishing, but otherwise the room was great. Staff were very friendly, polite and helpful. Can't praise them enough! Breakfast was good and the food in the bar was excellent. Having access to the pool and leisure facilities was a treat.

Depends on when

A couple of things I would say about this hotel. The lobby area and spa are nice. The restaurant has a limited menu but our dinner was very good. The rooms themselves are on the small side and do not have air conditioning or fans. We were visiting during a warmer time in August and with a west facing room was uncomfortable. In terms of the area you are about a 15 minute walk from bars and about 10 from Dunnes and grocery store. Don't bother trying to walk to the beach.

Children!

The hotel was faultless. However, our stay was marred by aot of ill behaved children whose parents didn't give the slightest bit of consideration to other peoples enjoyment. Screaming and running around the restaurant etc. I would love to come back here, but only if it was an adults only venue
