Guest Reviews
- Declan (10/5): -
- Annemarie (10/5): - Beautiful hotel overlooking the sea. The hotel was spotlessly clean, food was 5 the staff were all welcoming and friendly. Nothing, we will definitely stay again.
- Anne-Marie (9/5): Relax and enjoy! - An beautiful hotel, the location and views are superb, the staff very welcoming and our rooms were very comfortable. The bathroom is spacious, great walk in shower with very nice toiletries and a plentiful supply of towels. The casual dining menu offers a great variety of food choices, the bar and reception seating areas are comfortable and a pleasure to relax in. I didn't like the fixed hangers in the bedroom, too high!
- Peter (8/5): -

- Áine (10/5): - Food and service were outstanding.
- Annika (10/5): Loved it and plan on being back. - The whole place was lovely and cozy. Since the weather was terrible, we were stuck inside quite a bit and the lounge made hanging out fine. Only thing I could critique was the mattresses were not comfortable.

- Catherine (10/5): - Beautiful location, lovely staff and owners.
The place was spotless and fresh.
- Eamonn (9/5): Really liked my 2 night stay just maybe a bit more atmosphere in the evenings would have been nice. - The food was excellent as was the friendliness of the staff. Very nice rooms and bathrooms top level. Location very good also with amazing views. I will definitely return . The evening bar food area was slightly too quiet with people quite close to each other which was somewhat uncomfortable . Maybe having a more relaxed area with a TV or music for some guests particularly those travelling alone would be a improvement.

- Guest (10/5): -
- Rachel (10/5): Friendly staff, family feel, great food and location. - Location is great overlooking the bay and gardens and rooms are v comfortable. Breakfast is one of the best I’ve ever had in Ireland and restaurant and bar offered fantastic food as well (we ate in each during our stay). Struggled to regulate the heating at times (during the night so didn’t want to call reception then).

- Mikayel (10/5): - Ամեն ինչ հիանալի էր ,դիրքը,սնուննդը,հյուրանոցը,իհարկե մի քիչ թանկ էր ,բայց մնացածը հիանալի էր: Կար կոյուղու խնդիր,և ինչ էր շատ վատ ,որ հողաթափեր չէր տրամադրվում,անգամ լրացոցիչ վճարի դիմաց:
- Fiona (10/5): -
- Lea Mónika (10/5): - Staff were both friendly and professional, excellent food and service, lovely room, great facilities, loads of places to explore and the view - priceless. I wished I could stay longer!😅☺️
- Elizabeth (10/5): An excellent hotel - The staff were wonderful. Friendly and helpful The bar food was very expensive and it wasn't a comfortable place for a meal at fine dining prices
- Finlay (10/5): - Wonderful location and great service
- Sharon (10/5): - Ideal location and amazung views. All staff very attentive and friendly. Very comfortable room and bed. Food excellent in bar and really good breakfast with really good chpice. Looking forward to return visit.
- Maureen (9/5): Lovely location, great staff - The staff were extremely professional and accommodating of me and my dog. The place is very pet friendly and I really felt like both me and my dog were welcome. Amazing views over the water. The food was delicious. Just a great experience. I would have paid extra for special touches for my dog (a dog bed, treats in the room, etc.). I think perhaps that should be an option but understand it's not something that should be provided for free.
- michael (10/5): perfect place to unwind - everything was great ,amazing staff and the food so fresh.
- veronica (10/5): Comfortable - Staff were professional and very pleasant food was delicious enjoyed my stay

- Karen (9/5): I have already booked my next visit. - The food at the hotel was excellent. Nothing to report
- Elaine (10/5): One of the best stays - Stunning views over the bay. The food was incredible - Dinner was one of the best we have ever had. We ate in the Adrift Restaurant. The flavours were so complementary and everything was so fresh with vegetable from their own garden. The pesto was so good I would go back just for that!! Breakfast had a huge selection and catered for all diets. They also served barfood and it was very busy all day. All of the staff we encountered seemed very happy in their jobs, they were always smiling, so friendly and very efficient. They had water double filtered from their own spring readily available and bottles were on the landing at night for guests to take to their rooms free of charge. Fantastic example of irish hospitality. I would not hesitate to reccomend and will definitely return there was nothing to fault here, everything is exemplory and I cant wait to return in the summer to savor the incredible views in sunshine

The staff here genuinely want to pamper you and make you feel at home. The location is perfect and within walking distance of the beach. The rooms are clean and cosy, with a very comfy bed and a lovely bedquilt. The food in the restaurant is excellent, and the breakfast was sooooo good. Everything is made with so much love. Some veggies and herbs from their own garden It’s truly a treat to stay here !!!! Lucky me :-)

- Anthony (9/5): -

- Ciara (10/5): An absolute oasis. This place is heaven. The staff, the views, the food. It's just perfect. -
- Joachim (9/5): -
- John (10/5): - Very nice property, lovely scenery. Great dinner and breakfast and polite and friendly staff.
- Megan (10/5): A moment of luxury and peace at a great price & your dog can join you! - Dunmore House Hotel is supremely located and the grounds extend down to the water so you can enjoy a lovely walk down there without feeling like you are in anyone's way. The options for food were extensive. I went with the woodfired pizza and have no regrets. A truly dog-friendly hotel. I went for breakfast and was told I could bring my dog - they'd set a table up for me in the lounge. I thanked them but opted to dine alone, and so they gave me some sausages to take back to him. Those little moments mean so much when you're travelling. I will be recommending and hopefully also be back! The one thing that confused me was finding the pizza place. A very minor inconvenience, and very easily rectified. So, maybe a few extra signs for those of us challenged like me? Honestly, I'm grasping at straws here.
- JOANNA JOWITA (10/5): - El Hotel es precioso con vistas espectaculares y es muy agradable pasar tiempo en el. El personal es muy profesional, amable y cercano. La comida del bar no es barata, pero de calidad muy buena.
Espero volver en el futuro! 😊
- Elizabeth (10/5): -
- ANTHONY (6/5): Have stayed there before and it was better then. Maybe we were just unlucky this time. - Lovely location. Rooms very comfortable. Staff were lovely and breakfast was perfect. The first morning there was an overpowering smell. I think there was some work being done to septic tank or drains.
We had stayed in the hotel a few years ago and the bar food menu wasn’t as good and the meals we ordered on both nights seemed expensive, e.g. soup €9, chowder €15, fish & chips €25, chicken goujons €25. Portions were a bit on the small side too.
- Orla (10/5): -
- MARGARET (10/5): - Exquisite property with ocean views and outstanding Michelin restaurant . We had the best meal of our trip there in the bar . Wish we could’ve stayed the whole week. Staff amazing as were our rooms. Hope some day to go back. I’ve traveled to six continents for my job and truly can say this was one of the loveliest places I’ve ever stayed.
- Deirdre (10/5): - A beautiful location. Excellent service and staff very helpful indeed. I will be back!

- Valerie (8/5): I enjoyed my stay and would recommend - I enjoyed my two night stay at Dunmore House Hotel. Shower was excellent, a great selection for breakfast to choose from . Lovely fresh water available for guests . Plenty of parking and a lovely reception area with plenty of seats I felt the room was a little small , just basic TV channels . I had dinner my first night while it was nice I did feel it was expensive at €25 for chicken goujons and fries .
- Hugh (10/5): - The Barrett family are very special, extremely welcoming and so professional in all they do. Fabulous hotel and brilliant in every way.
- cummins (9/5): Fab folks and a fab place -
- Amy (10/5): - Outstanding service
- Kathleen (10/5): I’ll be back! - This hotel is stunning - the location overlooks the ocean . The staff could not be more professional, the food was outstanding, the room very comfortable. My first stay but certainly not my last.
- Katharina (10/5): - Wonderful hotel in wonderful location. The grounds invite for small walks and sitting with beautiful ocean views. Luxe, but unpretentious. Dog-friendly, welcoming, and quiet. Beautiful beach for swimming near-by.
