Older property, spotlessly clean, good sized rooms, bathrooms clean but dated….
Mary, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Hotel is a bit dated decor wise but we’ve been coming here for decades and just love this hotel..

Great for families with small children
Brian, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

A stunning spot.

Staff were superb. The food was of a high quality. The room was without a view and airless - even with the window open and the doors were noisy and so sleep is disturbed. The setting is stunning. Children were allowed to run around and play in the lounge and bar area. Suggest an activity space for them so they are not allowed to disturb other guests.

6/10 Good

Not a 4 star hotel.

Very stuffy in the room if the weather is warm. No air conditioning in rooms, windows only open a couple of centimeters. Bathrooms very old, space around toilet is cramped for anyone with mobility issues. Shower was very small and the shower head was was not high enough, had to shower basically crouched over. Hotel is right on the coast. Weather I was there the beach was very busy. Car park totally taken up with people clearly not staying at the hotel. Had to park on verge. Not up to a modern 4 star specification.

Beautiful views, great location to walking trail and beach. Dining was good but there were lots of children which wasn’t a big deal just something to be aware of. Live music was a fun touch!

Lovely hotel

Real nice hotel. Spectacular Atlantic location. Nearby town, Bundoran, is a pretty dire place. Hotel is large, quiet (rooms) and very comfortable. Lots of parking but was very full.

Family trip. We stayed there for 1 night only. The hotel looks grand from the outside but is very dated inside. Staff were all friendly.

Needs updating

The location and the main areas are very nice. However, the rooms are very outdated. The beds are uncomfortable. The restaurant is ok but not what you’d expect.
