We had a lovely stay at this hotel. The rooms could do with a bit of a freshen up but apart from that the scenery was spectacular and the staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast options where amazing and the bar had a great atmosphere

Beautiful hotel with lovely views and very nice breakfast. Only issue was a very slow drain in the bathroom which caused the shower to leak all over the floor which wasn’t very nice!

The property is beautiful. We stayed only one day but I wish we would have stayed more days. It is so peaceful and picturesque. We didn't have dinner here but we did have breakfast and it was superb! Staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was very nice but as I have reviewed other hotels and B&B's in Ireland, I wish they offered US to European electrical outlet converters. We did bring our own but as many US tourists that visit Ireland, this should be a standard practice. Other than that, beautiful hotel!!!

Really is a place to stay if you want the resort feel and not leave the property. For how expensive it is I was shocked there wasn't a free bus that would take you into town, the room also had a few issues (nothing huge) like the shower head was dropping off the holder so water just kind of spilled out and one of the outlets wouldn't let you even plug something in. Not a huge deal but at €220 euro a night, I would expect a little better. There is a €5 tray charge for breakfast room service but that's it so huge win there. I also got a massage which has to be one of the best of my life, especially the after care pampering with ice cream, a relaxing room and views of the bay. Tons to do on site for families and the staff was absolutely great.
