Cons:

Die Heizung war nicht korrekt eingestellt. Sie lief auf höchster Leistung, so dass es im Zimmer heiß war. Erst nach Abstellen der Heizung mitten in der Nacht durch Hotelpersonal wurde es erträglich. Es war sehr laut, da die Besucher der Bar sich direkt unter dem Fenster zum Rauchen aufhielten und laut miteinander sprachen.

Fabulous location and views
Pros:

Location. Views were amazing.

Cons:

In need of some refurbishment. Splash stains from toilet use on tiles 🤮
Other guests were drunk, loud and should have been asked to leave. There were children staying and it was not acceptable.

Irland pur wie man es erleben sollte, ganz oben an seiner Nordspitze.
Pros:

Sehr authentisch-ländliches Hotel mit Gaststätte und Pub am nördlichsten Punkt von Irland, wo wir inmitten von einheimischen Gästen unser Zimmer im Obergeschoss beziehen.
Fantastischer Meerblick, großes sauberes Zimmer, üppiges und liebevoll zubereitetes Frühstück. Eigentümer Michael kümmert sich persönlich um seine Gäste.

Cons:

Alles bestens.

Wonderful location, great staff and good value for the money
Pros:

The location was exceptional, the food in the restaurant was very good and was also good value. The view was amazing.

Cons:

Bathroom could do with a face lift, not really a criticism but more of an observation. Visitors these days would require something a little more modern and up to date
