"Good food, pleasant staff, cleanliness & comfort just about make up for tired decor & eyewatering prices."

7.0

Spacious, clean, comfortable, good food, friendly staff

All ground floor doors kept open making corridors quite cool & breezy for my 82 year old mother. Weeds & uncut grass outside make a poor first impression Peeling paint & old fashioned , tired decor in places. Our request for sandwiches (not on the menu) on the evening we arrived was granted graciously but I felt the €8 x 2 charge for two simple sandwiches was excessive. Breakfast service was inconsistent & erratic on day 2 compared to day 1. Porridge on day 2 arrived without seeds & with raspberry jam instead of the berry compote. Server seemed surprised when we pointed this out & had to return to the kitchen to find out both were unavailable. Toast & bread arrived before porridge and minus the yummy danish pastry we had been given the day before. When asked I chose the regular bread with my eggs but they arrived with the sourdough option. No green tea available either day and the pot of hot water for my own green tea bags was forgotten on day 2. Staff were polite & pleasant, but disorganised, with everyone rushing around serving every table.

"disappointed and not happy with the lack of contact to fix the issue so our stay was not at all pleasant."

1.0

location was lovely

the heat was on in our kids room and it was not able to be turned off - it was the middle of summer and the room was so hot and our kids could not sleep. they ended up sleeping in our room. no one contacted us about a refund or apologies during our 2 night stay. we paid for two rooms and had to sleep in one.

The hotel was in a perfect location. Across from the beach so handy. Breakfast was just beautiful. Staff so friendly and accommodating. Bedroom was very spacious and very comfortable bed. Hotel has a lovely charm to it. We really enjoyed our two nights.
