Great staff looking after your every wish, food was great with many choices and nightly specials. Rooms very comfortable and cosy . Located centrally in Portarlington short walks to the pier and Bakery and shops. Very recently renovated inside and throughout all the modern conveniences you could need. With outside and inside bars lots on Tap and good local wine choices great place to spend a few days away frem home.
