It is well located, reasonably priced, clean, and provides excellent services. I'd recommend it for families, honeymooners, and geezers like my wife and I.

Seven golfers and myself stayed here for three nights April 2013. The rooms were very nice....clean, comfortable and very well appointed. We all enjoyed the rooms!

We stopped here for lunch and found a very bright cozy dining room with a view of the sea. The service was excellent and there were a number of very traditional Irish dishes including desserts. It is definitely worth a stop if you are traveling there. Charlie Chaplin used to stay here and fish in the bay. His photo is... More

We are a fishing group and they have great facilities for our gear, including a drying room and rod racks. The bar is busy, fun and the food of top quality... More
