Very impressive and I hope to stay at the hotel again when in the area.
Pros:

First impression was of cleanliness and warmth. The receptionist was genuinely friendly and helpful. The hotel is well maintained with an old style charm. The bedroom was spotlessly clean. Tasty breakfast with a good choice.

Cons:

I had a meal elsewhere prior to arrival and at tea time needed just tea and a sandwich or a scone but was unable to get that.

An OK hotel but way past its best, for the price.
Pros:

The hotel is looking pretty tired, and whilst the location isn't bad, more could be made of it. The outside bar (at the front) overlooking the car park and a busy road isn't what you'd expect.

Cons:

The hotel needs to be brightened up, it is looking very dated.

Fantastic stay in a historic setting
Pros:

Had the forest facing room which was quite relaxing setting. Although it would have been great to see the sea, we could easily view this from the bar and restaurant. Food was very tasty, we dined there for dinner and breakfast the next morning. Parking was super easy and bar was very relaxing. Had a really lovely romantic after dinner walk along the seafront and to the nearby woodland walk which was great. Was cool to read the history of the hotel and some famous figures that stayed there! It even features in a guide from 1880s of a traveller going around Ireland!

Cons:

Only thing was it was a little pricey but it was a great stay, wish we could have stayed longer.

Impressive...an interesting stay...
Pros:

So much history here...an excellent guest information booklet available in the rooms about EVERYTHING around + the Story of the historic Eccles Hotel...
Unforgettable view over the Bay during the breakfast time...
Single room had a double bed! The slippers, the robes, the luxury irish brand toiletries...
Fantastic SPA team, good selection of treatments, special thanks to Aoife!
Hotel has its own herb-garden - got a fresh branch into my cocktail from there!
Homemade magic bread and fantastic little cheese scones, so very crumble !!!

Cons:

Breakfast is available from 8am - would recommend an earlier time, as there is so much of beauty to discover around this region... I was lucky, they allowed me in even 10min earlier, when I showed up, hihii!
Maybe a bicycle rental would be nice? but the roads around are narrow and might be a bit dangerous...
