Absolute Gem
Pros:

We had a lovely two night stay here at the Bella Vista, we couldn't fault a thing. Alexis on the reception desk was really helpful and gave us some recommendations for restaurants and pubs. There's free parking, a lovely bar with sea views, spacious rooms and an amazing Chinese restaurant on site. The whole place is spotless, staff really friendly and helpful and a great full irish in the morning.

Great staff and location
Pros:

Stayed one night in self catering apartment, spotlessly clean and all facilities you need for self catering are there. We arrived early and they did their best to get our apartment ready for us shortly after we arrived. The staff are more than helpful and very friendly. Great location, beautiful view from the balcony, 5 minute walk to the town but located on a hill so might not suit ppl with mobility issues.

Good value for money, great staff, clean and good breakfast
Pros:

Great location, fantastic staff and a breakfast worth paying for. Clean, huge bed and large bathroom. Fantastic views from the restaurant and bar.

Cons:

The room was rather basic, but it did have everything needed. The hotel is next door to a church - its bells ring every 15 minutes from 11pm to 7am, for those more early and light-sleepers.
