Only stayed for one night so we didn't have a chance to sample the many amenities provided - which all looked great. Location on coast of Ardmore Bay is idyllic with convenient walk to nearby town and strand. Rooms and interior of the facility are wonderfully done, staff bends over backwards to help with anything and the tasting menu dining experience was terrific - a little spendy, but worth it.

1 night An absolutely fabulous hotel in every respect. The luxurious room with a balcony overlooking the bay would be hard to beat anywhere. Service was excellent. But then, it's what you'd expect at such premium prices… Special mention must go to the guy who parked the car and charged it for us overnight – classy.

Service let it down

Stunning location and views. House restaurant is good, it great. Once the restaurant got busy the service fell off the Cliff. This issue probably leant itself to this less than stellar review, considering the price you’re paying. Hotel itself could do with an upgrade.
