Room with a view.
Pros:

Loved the room with the view across the water. Was comfortable and quiet.

Cons:

The food. Salad wilted and drenched in... liquid? Very large portions of battered cod nicely fried but the cod inedible. Apple pie also disappointing, the ice cream and custard served alongside, I appreciated.

Pleasant Stay
Pros:

Rooms spotless , had a lovely meal in the restaurant and breakfast was great plenty to choose from .

Cons:

Not hotels fault but we were working in Rathmullan , Booking .com said hotel was only 5kms away but failed to say it was across the water , it ended up an hour away and an hour back the next day , so 2 hours out of the working day .
Please state that you require to get a ferry across which only runs in the summer !!!

Cons:

Although the room was ""accessible" the shower was quite small and there was no shower seat. Not a massive problem as it was only 1 night but would certainly would have been had the stay been for any longer.
