I had a really lovely stay, my room was small but tastefully decorated. There were a few marks on the wall that could do with touching up. The tea tray was good quality as was the breakfast. The best thing about this hotel it the staff who were all fabulous. Be careful of the parking as its only 4 hours on the front so best park at the back if possible.

Clean co

Lovely clean and comfortable hotel and room. Breakfast could be improved - as a vegan there was plant milk when asked but with a focus very much on a cooked breakfast, the continental breakfast options could have been improved - cereals were boxed and limited pastries. Plant based yogurt would also be a welcome addition.

We ended up The Glengower because of an error with our original booking. It ended up being a much better option: the staff was lovely, the bar and restaurant was great, and the rooms were nice and comfortable for what we needed. And right by the water and shops around the corner. We would definitely stay here again.

This Hotel was a great find!! Check in was simple and everything explained well,hotel itself was very clean with lovely decor.Our room 22 was on the front overlooking the sea very spacious very clean and loved the table and chairs in the bay window to relax and look out!!.We ate at the hotel in the evening and again it turned out to be another excellent experience lovely food lovely staff! Had breakfast in the morning and again an excellent breakfast would highly recommend the Glengower you won’t be disappointed.A quick mention about parking there is free parking out front and back on the roads if you can find a space out the back there is no time limit but on the front it’s free for 4 hours if I remember correctly and that’s up until 6pm!! So if you catch it right you can park at 2 pm and your fine right through until the morning

The Glengower is excellently situated, right on the promenade/beach. It offered a full hot breakfast and the pub itself offers a large and sophisticated menu. Everything we tried over the 3 days we were there was excellent. The parking may be a bit if a problem as the promenade road is very narrow but we found a good spot in the end. The room we had was comfortable tho a little tight.. the staff and service was excellent. We unfortunately did not have a sea view, but I will definitely suggest getting one as the view is excellent.
