I was very pleased with my room, I had a nice view and could see the sea in the distance. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The included breakfast was very tasty and with a good choice. This was my second stay and will definitely return in the future
Staff were amazing, friendly and welcoming. When we first checked in Aaron's enthusiasm was infectious and it started our weeks break off perfectly 😊 in the restaurant Lexi & Belinda were sweethearts and made sure we had everything we needed. 🍽️ Food in the restaurant was fabulous 😍 tried different items on the menu throughout the week and everything was delicious 😋 never a bad meal and we had breakfast and evening meals in the hotel/restaurant. Rooms were clean & functional so a big thank you to housekeeping. Would definitely return!
Our room was spotless and very comfortable.
Staff were pleasant and helpful at all time.
Breakfast was well cooked and offered a good variety of hot and cold options.
We love this hotel. This is our second stay and will definitely be back.
Hotel was clean and comfortable. Many extra touches. All staff were friendly and welcoming. Breakfast was good quality. Only issue was the shower was too small.
Recently had a 3 night stay here. Our room and the hotel itself was beautiful. However the prices of food and drinks were quite high. We were at an event here and there was only one member of staff on the bar, he was often leaving the bar to get glasses, having to go for drinks from other bar etc often leaving customers waiting about 20 minutes at a time! there should have been at least two people serving such and event! Snow and ice were covered all over the grounds making it very dangerous for guests. Some guests of the event actually had to clear a path themselves to try ensure a safer walkway, especially as there were guests with disabilities. Such a shame for these things to let the hotel down. Staff were very pleasant and friendly though, so credit to them for that.
Everything was Perfect!
Room was Stunning, Staff was extraordinary (especially Odhran and Linda), Breakfast very delicious.
We will definetely stay here again!

Lovely hotel exterior and downstairs. Our room was very small and overlooked a roof which was a disappointment.
The staff were all lovely and the food was excellent. Overall we enjoyed our stay.
We really liked the interiors of this hotel: all the public areas and bedrooms are beautifully decorated. Dining room was excellent and breakfast really good as well. We like the view from the hotel over the harbour and the town.
