The views from the hotel were amazing. I had the fish and chips for my evening meal it was very good.
The staff were friendly.There was no heating in our room when we arrived .We had to turn on the radiator ourselves The room itself was very clean and comfortable. .I was very pleased with the choice on the breakfast menu. There was a shortage of staff serving breakfast which meant my breakfast arrived cold .The girl serving breakfast was very polite and good at her job . She did her best to serve everyone.

Stunning beach view from my room which was very comfortable and clean. The food offer was very good but the poor staff were run off their feet and it did take a while to get your order taken. Beautiful location. The hotel is a little tired and could do with some tlc and not all communal areas were clean e.g. back stairs.

Hotel public areas are very nice. Guest rooms need work - lose carpet, etc. Thd setting made up for those shortfalls.

This was a perfect place for our last night in Ireland. Beers by the ocean on the patio and dinner in the dining room. Our room was seaside and we were able to hear the waves as we drifted off to sleep. Very peaceful!
