Great room , terrible food
Pros:

The room was lovely and clean and very comfortable with great views, great room for thd price

Cons:

The food , went for a meal on the first night of our visit, ordered a roast dinner and a steak ciabatta, the roast came without mash and a sprig of broccoli, as they had no mash or veg left, but dud not tell us when ordering, and the steak was inedible, I physically stretched the steak in front of the staff to show it could not be eaten, they gave me a beef roll instead and charged full price for the original order, needles to say we didn't eat there for tge remainder of the stay

Kein Service und unsauber
Pros:

Nicht viel. Die Lage war ok und die Dusche auch.

Cons:

Das Personal war quasi nicht vorhanden. Das Zimmer schmutzig. Der Teppich voller Flecken. Es wurden in sechs nicht einmal die Handtücher gewechselt oder der Papierkorb geleert. Neues Toilettenpapier gab es nur auf Nachfrage wenn die Reinigungskraft gerade mal da war. Zusätzlich wurde uns kurz vor der Anreise mitgeteilt das es kein Frühstück gibt und man 7 Kilometer fahren soll um ein überteuertes Frühstück in einem Hotel nehmen soll, wo es dann 15 Prozent Rabatt gibt. Nicht empfehlenswert!

Pros:

Un grand parking réservé aux clients. Le personnel y est accueillant et chaleureux. Il y a un sèche-cheveux à disposition dans un tiroir de table de chevet et les différents produits nécessaires à la douche dans la salle de bain. Et tout ce qui faut pour prendre un café ou un thé le matin.

einfaches, renoviertes Hotel in Traumlage direkt am Strand.
Pros:

ein renoviertes kleines Hotel, über einem kleinen Pub. Dort kann man sehr gut essen. Das Haus ist in abgelegener Traumlage, direkt am weitläufigen Strand. Wir hatten Zi.-Nr. 1 mit einem Eckfenster, eine wunderbare Aussicht!
Das Personal war äusserst freundlich und hilfsbereit und ausreichend Parkplätze gibt es direkt vor dem Hotel. Frühstück gibt es jedoch nicht.

Cons:

wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen

Lovely location for a short beach getaway
Pros:

Great location, right on the beach. Very close to Dunmore East and not too far from Waterford city. Comfy bed and spacious room. The staff were really nice and helpful. The adjoining pub had great live music and had a nice atmosphere.

Cons:

The deluxe sea view room does not have a door separating the bedroom from the bathroom - we didn’t realise it in the pictures when we booked but this is definitely a strange set up. The room also looks out over the pub beer garden and beach so it could do with blinds for privacy without having to have the curtains pulled as you can see right in.
