I didn’t have a chance to have breakfast this time but the staff was offering ne to have a take away or earlier than their schedule but I refused because it was too early for me. The room was excellent and they even gave me a welcome gift and free drinks. I will definitely recommend Arklow Bay Hotel for their good service and excellent staff. They are very accommodating and friendly. 5 star
