La struttura non è male. Le camere sono piccole e non curate. Il bagno piccolo. Avevo prenotato una camera superior ma secondo me sono tutte uguali. Il ristorante è buono (ci abbiamo cenato) e la colazione buona.

Lovely hotel, great food.

We had a lovely stay in the Carna Bay Hotel. Beautiful location minutes from the coast and amazing beaches. Its been redecorated since we were there last and it's really freshened the place up. We had breakfast (cooked), lunch (fab seafood chowder), and lovely dinner during our stay. The front of house staff were excellent. We brought our dog as the hotel is advertised as per friendly. Unfortunately, they are no longer doing pet friendly so we can't return again as we only go to pet friendly properties. I hope the new owners will reconsider this policy and perhaps reserve a couple of rooms for responsible pet owners.
