This is a well-appointed, clean and friendly place to stay. An easy walk to the center of town and to the beach. Our room had a spacious bathroom, lots of windows and over-looked the garden. The staff is very friendly and helpful. We are vey happy that we chose to stay there. Also recommend the restaurant. Fresh, local choices, reasonably... more

Immaculate cleanliness. Service excellent, (Staff are young but well trained) Food is superb, (try the venison when in season, or the Tai curry style monk fish ) reasonably priced and well served.

Had the pleasure to stay in this wonderful hotel recently. Very spacious and well decorated rooms. Dinner was excellent for the price (the restaurant was very busy for mid-week). Excellent menu to suit all tastes. Staff could not be friendlier. Looking for an excuse to go back. more

This was another one of the hotels we found by accident. After quite a tiring day and not really sure where we were we stumbled upon Carrick Lodge. It was like stepping into another world.
