⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Don’t think about it, just do it you won’t regret it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Pros:

This property is right at the mouth of the pier. It’s a beautiful tranquil spot and has a commanding view of the village. It’s lovely to sit on the benches and watch the world go by and also the comings and goings with the water and pier activity. It’s just a gorgeous spot to take a break for a while.

Cons:

There’s nothing personally to dislike about this property as the people and staff are so accommodating. There was no vegan option in the restaurant the night we stayed but Michael liased with the kitchen and found a suitable last minute offering and I was so grateful for that and to Michael himself.

Pros:

Well-situated hotel right on the pier in Mullaghmore. The staff was very helpful and kind. We had a great view of the ocean from our room. We were also pleasantly surprised by the breakfast and the pool!

Cons:

The hotel is a bit of an older style, particularly the bathrooms—but this is definitely a part of the charm!

Nice scenic location but very expensive and poor breakfast
Pros:

Scenic location although assigned room was beside noisy roadway.

Cons:

Could hear person snoring in adjacent bedroom. Constant buzz in our room when electric switch was on. We turned off at 2am but then mobile phones couldn’t charge. Curtains hung on rails incorrectly so light came in both sides. Breakfast was very poor value for money. They ran out of butter, so toast cold. Staff seemed hassled and under resourced.Food was mediocre
