We had a very good stay. The hotel was clean, comfortable and well maintained. The staff were friendly and helpful, and everything went smoothly during our stay. The room was comfortable and had everything we needed. The location was also convenient and the overall experience was very good. We would happily stay here again and would recommend this hotel to others.

Really good busy hotel. We have stayed here many times and have had no negative issues to date. It's a perfect location with a short walk through some gardens to a lovely sea view and ample walking areas along the sea. Wonderful start to the day!!! Great musician in the lounge area on our first night. The place is a hive of activity with bus loads arriving regularly. One can just sit in the foyer and people watch and while away the hours. I’m sure we will visit again in the not to distant future.

Easy to find rooms clean and tidy Hotel staff pleasant except for a couple of bar staff who didn’t want to serve us Nothing worse than standing at the bar and been ignored as they served the locals Can not fault the staff and team at breakfast they went out there way to accommodate my wife’s dietary issues Ie sorted a vegan breakfast Restaurant gets very busy on last night we cancelled our dinner as we had to wait. Again I except this but when other locals again get in before us this is not good practice I want a special mention to the service from Lisa in the breakfast serving I think her name was Lisa she was Co ordination of the whole service Prices were very reasonable

Liked: Staff & service
Room was generally clean, but looked like it could do with updating. Shower leaked on the floor and was very small-I'm only 5 ft 4. Noise from the crows was very loud, 5.45am wake up, and if i stayed again would ask for a front bedroom as they seemed to only be on the trees at the back-room 424. Food was very disappointing and not cheap.

Came here to see the Hothouse Flowers play but was super impressed with the hotel and grounds. This was a lovely getaway vacation and I highly recommend for a quick trip out of Dublin. Get away from the hustle and bustle. Wonderful lobby area, great breakfast. The spa and pool looked amazing but I didn’t get time to utilize. Maybe next time!
