It was great having the very walkable beach, right outside the hotel door! It is a great location!

Nice hotel but staff and management could care less about issues with the room and guests.
Location was great for night before airport.

Beautiful views of the ocean from the room. Sadly, no one offered to help with our luggage. The water broke and we did not have any running water. We were never notified about the malfunction and were treated rudely when we came down to ask about thr lack of running water.

A lovely mid-winter mini-break - super comfortable and elegant without being overtly posh. The view!! One of the longest beaches on the coast, a perfect walk. The service from Brian at reception to the waitstaff was lovely. Dinner was just good - fresh bread not cooked through. But maybe it was an off night.

Very friendly. Fabulous location - close enough to Malahide if you want for dinner (if you have a car of course) and great for walks on the beach. Perfect for a few quiet days to relax and recharge.

A very disappointing stay
Very noisy bedroom due to overlooking aircraft flying by.
Room much too warm, no air con.
Unable to leave windows open due to overhead noise.
We ate in The Jameson bar and the meal was of very poor quality.
Staff appeared very junior and in my opinion, they lacked customer experience.

Great property... Loved it. Pity I think previous user was a smoker, and smoked in the bathroom so when you take a shower the smoke extractor struggles to get rid of the steam and that cigarette smoke stinks up the room and being an Asthmatic myself, it doesn't help my situation.
