Wonderful location on Sntrim coast
Lovely room with ocean view
Food ok
We stayed 3 nights and loved the view from our room. The hotel is beautiful however the service received from the reception staff was minimal. On three occasions I needed to speak to the reception staff but they were nowhere to be found. I had to go to another area of the hotel to get some help. That was disappointing but the rest of the staff were very diligent.
The hotel is directly across the street from the ocean, we had a lovely view from our room. With the window open we could also hear the waves crashing onto the shore. Absolutely lovely, until random cars come whizzing by. Can't avoid the traffic! Other than the ocean view, the room is basic and average although i did find the bed very comfortable. I was most disappointed with the onsite restaurant - such a disappointing and generic menu! Such a shame. The staff were very friendly and helpful, check-in and out were great.
