This place is amazing. After a rough start with the rental car company, the woman that checked us in turned it all around for us! She was lovely. We had a nice walk around the beach and then had a wonderful dinner in the restaurant. We ate both dinner and breakfast here and they were both fantastic. Our rooms had an amazing view of the beach/water.

The pro’s were the beautiful location on the ocean and a great Walking path along the water. The con’s were the hotel was a little worn, the room was very small for two people and staff were not overly friendly.

the location is in front of the sea. You can appreciate the sound of the sea waves. The problem is that it is not well served by buses to reach it. The breakfast is average. Good value for money.

The rooms need an update. No fans or air conditioning. Bed was very hard and slopping. Bathroom small without a fan and a very bad smell.

Ellie and other staff made the stay exception. Really felt welcomed. The food at the restaurant was excellent. The best I’ve had in Ireland or Scotland. I was initially preparing for not so great food, but the food at this place was beyond great. Plus the service was excellent.

Wonderful way to start our vacation

The place is clean and on the beautiful coastline. The dinner was fantastic -- almost too much for us. The nost important thing is the service. The staff are some of the kindest, friendliest people, and the most resourceful.

Lovely location and getaway but not modern

Lovely staff, very helpful. Hotel is not modern. It's had a cosmetic makeover but walls are thin and bathrooms have clearly had years of use. Location is beautiful with the beach walk and restaurant had everything we could need so ended up spending most of the time just relaxing in the hotel or by the beach outside.
