This is one of the unique places to stay..for a few reasons. The staff are excellent here. They will go out of their way to help you and are genuine. There's a great 'local' feel in this hotel, it's like a home from home. I think if you're a tourist visiting Ireland this should be on your list to find... more

I had read the previous negative reviews and would not have chosen this hotel except it was a wedding party location and so was the most convenient place to stay for 2 nights. However it was fine. The reception was warm, friendly and helpful. Our double room (31) was large, clean and comfortable with a good view across the bay.... more

We had a room with a cracked toilet seat, rusty radiator and a dirty cot (for our one year old son), all of which I took pictures of as all it's nice to have the memories... I didn’t take a picture of the shower rail that fell down (we were told that it was an exntendable rail type fitting and... more

I am amazed to see some bad reviews for this hotel. We really enjoyed our stay. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful - most notably Sharon. The room was clean with lots of hot water and good pressure in the shower. Breakfast was cooked to order and was much better than I have had in many much more expensive... more

We had booked this hotel as a last minute romantic get-away and had not read any of the reviews until after the reservations were made. If we had gone by the reviews we would not have stayed here, but we are so glad that we chose to see for ourselves whether or not this hotel would live up to our... more

I arrived at night and if it was still bright outside I'd have stayed somewhere else. The minute I stepped in the lobby all I could see was the filthy dated carpet and worn, visibly black with dirt armchairs. The lift was grotty and the corridor to the room is dimly lit so I had a bad impression before I... more

We stayed in a room that was nothing like the one that was shown on the hotels website. The window had a draft coming through and my husband had to stuff around it with toilet paper! The breakfast was lovely and the staff were really friendly but I would never stay there again. more

oh dear!

Hotel is in need of some work. Room was large with sea view. No hot water for a shower in the morning though & after leaving it run for approx 10 mins it turned yellow- very scarey, I wouldn't wash my dog in it! more

Management response from
YoughalMichael, General Manager

Our sincerest apologies for the discoloured water. We had closed for a period of time over Christmas thus the room had not been let out for a period of time. Being an old hotel, first records dating to 1776, we have old pipes and only recently I had the system drained, obviously with no success. I am delighted that you...
