Beautiful hotel in a stunning location!!
Pros:

This was our 3rd or 4th stay here, but the first in over 2yrs. It was so nice to see the hotel get a make over inside, it was so bright and fresh. The room we had was fab, spacious and a beautiful view. The staff are lovely, so friendly and the food was gorgeous in the bar.

Cons:

We went for breakfast at 9am, an hour after it had started serving and it was a little disappointing. There wasn't alot on offer and what was there looked like it had been sitting out for a while so we ended up not eating. Hate to say something negative because we love this hotel and will be staying again, but just wasn't a great morning that morning for breakfast.

Gerne wieder, sehr zu empfehlen!!
Pros:

Die Lage des Hotes ist einfach super schön, die ganze Landzunge bietet viel zu besichtigen (Küste, Classiebawn Castle... + die weitere Umgebung (Atlantic Sheepdogs, Marble Arch Cave, Donegal Castle, Silver Strand...) auch. Die Parksituation ist spitze.

Cons:

Zu wenig Abstellfläche im Bad, auch für die Handtücher gibt es zu wenig Möglichkeiten zum Aufhängen. An dem Tisch mit den Stühlen ist kein Licht.

Pros:

Perfect location. Comfortable

Cons:

We had dinner in the dining room and there was a family with three small kids who kept running and jumping by our table. It was disruptive. When we mentor on the way out the server said “ well kids will be kids”.
