5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 June 2013 NEW

This Hotel should have it's own TA page as it is recently reopened after full refurbishment as is nothing like the old reviews. Firstly the staff were very friendly and well trained, the bedrooms were completely new (bed, carpets, curtains....), the breakfast was first class (granola or good choice). The water pressure could have been better, but I'm sure this... More

Stayed here at the end of May and it had just been newly reopened. Going by previous reviews we didnt expect much but the place seems to have been renovated tastefully. There was a great view from the sea view room and the price was excellent. Downstairs there is a lovely bar and cafe with Ipads on every table which... More

This hotel was more like a run-down youth hostel than a hotel. The room we were shown (before we walked out some minutes later) was overlooking a hideous flat roof-top; the smell was musty but covered over by some sickly disinfectant; the whole appearance was unsightly and plainly unclean. The bathroom was also sub-standard. We had booked accommodation here months... More

If you are looking for luxury you are in the wrong place. The hotel is very dated to say the least but once you get over the shock of how old fashioned it is you will love it .The staff are excellent and I think that is what is appealing about this hotel. Joe even gave me €20 of the... More

Going back to Dunmore East for the third time this year because I think its a lovely place. However, the availability of good resonable food is certainly on the downturn. Ate in the Ocean last year, I had a veg curry and hubby and mushroom vol u vent. We felt they had a good selection of vegetarian meals. Our kids... More

What a great place. The people are fantastic in this family owned Irish hotel, which gives it great vibes. Very nice to have the bar and restaurant on premises. Try the delicious seafood chowder. Not very fancy, but the warmth of the staff and the townfolks really makes it special.
