    The breakfast is sensational with smoked vegetables and the rooms are spotless. The beds are comfortable to sleep on. The hotel boasts central location on the sea. Also, it is near the centre of the picturesque village of Dunfanaghy as well as shops.

    Very welcoming and efficient staff. Food v good. Room very comfortable and clean. We had a room at the front and the view from the bedroom window looking out on the estuary was stunning. Enjoyed viewing lots of paintings (many for sale) on the walls in some of the public rooms. Car parking good.

    The venue's position was central. The property was a minute walk from Dunfanaghy downtown. The restaurant was really nice for evening meals, I tried delicious dishes. The view of the sea was stunningly beautiful.

    Situation ideal. Scenery excellent. We stayed only one night but found it warm and friendly, a pleasant stay. Thank You!

    We did discuss with management the privacy of clients in Room 51 where there were no lace curtain and any one in the back garden could look straight into the room and therefore we had to pull the curtains all the time that we were in the room and missed out on the sun that eventually shone.

    amazing views

    Spoiler alert, it's worth it!

    The perfect blend of location and hospitality! Direct access to parking. The room was cozy, with friendly staff enhancing the experience-a lovely touch was complimentary breakfast options served at the table. Witnessing a amazing sunrise right from the hotel was the cherry on top! A must-visit!

    The staff and food was excellent. We enjoyed the music and dancing in the Whiskey Fly Bar. Proximity to golf, the beach and the town were great.

    A few cob webs in the room were the only negative and they were not a big deal.
