Older property, spotlessly clean, good sized rooms, bathrooms clean but dated….
Mary, 1-night trip

Hotel is a bit dated decor wise but we’ve been coming here for decades and just love this hotel..

Great for families with small children
Brian, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

A stunning spot.

Staff were superb. The food was of a high quality. The room was without a view and airless - even with the window open and the doors were noisy and so sleep is disturbed. The setting is stunning. Children were allowed to run around and play in the lounge and bar area. Suggest an activity space for them so they are not allowed to disturb other guests.

6/10 Good

Not a 4 star hotel.

Very stuffy in the room if the weather is warm. No air conditioning in rooms, windows only open a couple of centimeters. Bathrooms very old, space around toilet is cramped for anyone with mobility issues. Shower was very small and the shower head was was not high enough, had to shower basically crouched over. Hotel is right on the coast. Weather I was there the beach was very busy. Car park totally taken up with people clearly not staying at the hotel. Had to park on verge. Not up to a modern 4 star specification.

Beautiful location and views of the sea. We had a great stay, all three of our rooms were clean and comfortable. We enjoyed a lovely meal in the bar and there was a lot of choice for breakfast - including make yourself waffles :)

Beautiful views, great location to walking trail and beach. Dining was good but there were lots of children which wasn’t a big deal just something to be aware of. Live music was a fun touch!

6/10 Good

We checked in at 7:45 only to learn the swimming pool closed at 8. Then we made it to our room booked for three people to find everything set up for two. We tried to call down but the phone was broken. We were so tired and laid on the beds to then realize the wedding going on below was right under our room and the swinging door banged directly under our beds reverberating up. Oh yay. We went downstairs to see what could be done and they tried to keep it propped open but it never lasted long. Then the band started up. The evening staff were mortified and apologized but asked us to deal with the day manager. We did this in the morning but she was unperturbed and would only offer us free drinks before leaving - at 10am in the morning. In fairness, the breakfast was excellent.

Family trip. We stayed there for 1 night only. The hotel looks grand from the outside but is very dated inside. Staff were all friendly.

Lovely hotel

Real nice hotel. Spectacular Atlantic location. Nearby town, Bundoran, is a pretty dire place. Hotel is large, quiet (rooms) and very comfortable. Lots of parking but was very full.

Needs updating

The location and the main areas are very nice. However, the rooms are very outdated. The beds are uncomfortable. The restaurant is ok but not what you’d expect.
