It could have been very intimidating but the owners and staff were so caring and it was an experience we never forgot. 45 years later thanks to a secret escapes special offer our return to the same room was just as memorable and the staff just...

Have been fortunate to visit this hotel on a number of occasions. The hotel may have gone through a rocky patch, but is definitely back on top form! Food, service and staff were all really excellent today. Three course menu great value. ,

Six of us spent a Saturday night at this wonderful hotel, celebrating the birthdays of 3 of us. We stayed in the lodge which was lovely-- I was expecting it to be rather tired looking after reading some of the reviews on tripadvisor, but it was excellent. I am disabled and sometimes find it difficult to sleep in hotel beds,... More

We stayed at Sharrow Bay late April 2013 for our Anniversary and found on arrival we had been upgraded to a large room on 2 levels for living and sleeping which made for a luxurious and relaxing stay. The rooms were well appointed and very clean. The food at both breakfast and dinner was excellent and the staff were very... More

We had a one night stay at Sharrow Bay to celebrate a special occasion. Of course the hotel has a fabulous reputation but, having read some of the reviews, we didn't know quite what to expect. To start with the positive, the location and views are second to none. The staff were all very friendly, professional and helpful. The food... More

Personally, the decor from a former era was all part of the experience, and very welcome. Comfort throughout exceptional. The Dinner was faultless, the Sommelier and waiting staff helpful and friendly , and if one girl is Spanish... More
