Pros:

Romantisch gelegenes Familienhotel. Viele Möglichkeiten die Zeit zu genießen. Rund ums Hotel schöne Spaziermöglichkeiten (nicht nur die Hedges ;-) )
Personal sehr freundlich, Frühstück und Abendessen mehr als ausreichend.

Unbedingt auch Ruby den Papagei begrüßen - wirklich ein Erlebnis :-)

Pros:

Bit out in nowhere but right next to The Dark Hedges. We waited until 7pm to wander across to the hedges and it was deserted, lucky us. Had a nice meal and our room was huge with a super bathroom. Parked our motorcycles right outside reception and had no security worries.

Cons:

Nothing

Leuk hotel
Pros:

Locatie: bij the Dark Hedges.
Vriendelijke medewerkers.
Mogelijkheid te dineren.

Cons:

Hotel was moeilijk te vinden, ondanks navigatie.
Geen verduisterende gordijnen in kamer, waardoor het om 4 uur ‘s nachts al licht was in de kamer. Klein tweepersoonsbed.

Pros:

We liked the cleanliness and the grounds where the hotel was situated

Cons:

We didn't like the fact that on Booking.com it stated that we could pay for breakfast at the hotel fir £10 each which we intended to do. We had no option available to choose this option online for a double room but this option was available for triple and quadruple rooms. When we booked breakfast on arrival at the hotel I explained this to the receptionist but she refused to let us pay £10 each and charged us £15.95 each. Due to the remoteness if the hotel it was our only option for breakfast whicb was not good value for money. I spoke the reception later on the same evening about the same issue but she would not reconsider

Pros:

Ich bin jetzt seit drei Wochen mit dem Fahrrad unterwegs und muss sagen: diese Location ist aktuell meine Nummer 1. Sicher hat alles seinen Preis aber dieser findet dort auch seine Berechtigung. Ein absolut aufmerksames Personal. Ein großes sauberes Zimmer mit Bad. Ein tolles Abendessen und Frühstück. Ich wusste nicht dass es dort eine touristische Attraktion gibt, dies spielt aber für diese Bewertung auch keine Rolle. Ich sage "vielen herzlichen Dank" an das Personal und weiter so. Sollte ich noch einmal dieses Land besuchen werde ich dort wieder übernachten.

Experiencia genial!
Pros:

Fue nuestro primer día en Irlanda, y fue increíble! Cenamos en el restaurante del hotel, todo estaba absolutamente delicioso y por un precio muy razonable. Además, era mi cumpleaños, y se coordinaron junto con mi pareja para llevar a cabo una serie de sorpresas. Nos regalaron bombones y chucherías, y decoraron la habitación con pétalos de rosa y corazones... Fue genial! La suite The Dark Hedges era espectacular, con una bañera gigante. El desayuno muy completo y bueno! Podías escoger entre una serie de platos y te lo preparaban en un momento. Además, la ubicación era perfecta para poder visitar The Dark Hedges al día siguiente. El personal fue muy agradable, muy buena experiencia!
