Stunning setting with great facilities and a lovely atmosphere. You couldn’t improve on Anne Marie however hard you tried the perfect hotel manager.
Une magnifique découverte, un véritable petit paradis. L’établissement est élégant et raffiné, tout en gardant une atmosphère familiale, chaleureuse et sans aucune ostentation. On s’y sent accueilli avec beaucoup de naturel, comme dans une grande maison de famille. La cuisine est vraiment excellente. Les poissons, notamment, sont d’une grande fraîcheur, avec des produits issus de la pêche du jour. Tout est très bien préparé et vraiment remarquable gustativement. Le petit déjeuner est également très copieux, avec un choix sucré et salé, chaud ou froid, et toujours de très bons produits. Et, compte tenu de la qualité, les prix restent très raisonnables. J’ai également beaucoup apprécié les différents salons, où l’on peut prendre un repas ou simplement profiter d’un moment de musique intimiste. Le concert de harpe a été un moment particulièrement apaisant. Le personnel est attentif, discret et d’une grande gentillesse. Les jardins sont magnifiques, la mer est juste à côté, et l’ensemble dégage un charme un peu hors du temps. Une expérience qui m’a beaucoup touchée. Je recommande vivement cet établissement et j’aurais grand plaisir à y revenir.
Rien
Everything. There is a special atmosphere. The location is great, the team and manager are adorable. And the bar is the festive place in the Bay. We’ll be back…
Nothing. A four stars level well deserve that should be a reference for some other places …
De gastvrijheid van Maria en haar staf is fenomenaal!
Food was great All staff were lovely & couldn't do enough for you

…let von der Tradittion
Tolle Lage in der Bucht. Es war etwas teuer, ist aber ein 4☆☆☆☆ Resort. Sehr gepflegt und alles, was man für den Preis erwarten darf. Tolles Frühstück. Auch zum Diner haben wir exzrem gut gegessen.
Absolument parfait et au delà de mes attentes. L'endroit est fou, tout au bout d'une petite route, contre l'ocean, une vieille bâtisse avec tout le charme de l'ancien. Un personnel au petit soin et très arrangeant. Un bar-restaurant très bon ou j'ai pu manger dans la véranda fleurrie et un petit déjeuner exceptionnel ! Le lit très confortable et la salle de bains et les équipements au top. Je ne peux que le recommander et si je reviens en Irlande, je referais le détour par ici Il est écrit à l'entrée, "you entry a no stress zone", je ne peux que confirmer que tout est mis en oeuvre pour cela Parfait !
Rien du tout !

Gutes Frühstück, guter Service, sehr ruhig.
A really great hotel. Location is fabulous, decor is very authentic, all staff are so friendly and helpful.
What's there not to like about all the above?
Remote, wild location and charming character property. Magnificent breakfast, I had the plaice, lovely fresh fish delicately cooked. Plenty of rooms in which to sit with comfortable furniture, from sunny conservatory to warm by the fire.
Quite a drive to get there. We had dramatic light and glorious still conditions going in and rain heading back towards Galway, but it was November. Nothing much we didn’t like. Older demographic, probably not the place for young people looking for nightlife.
Wonderful location, peaceful environment
Breakfast wasn't great
Made to feel very welcome. Food & service - top notch.
Very expensive for a 1 night stay.
Lovely warm relaxing atmosphere
Friendliness, atmosphere, comfort Could not fault it to be honest.

The staff were so friendly and helpful.
The gents toilet smelled really badly on passing. The ladies toilets are in need of improvement as the access is compromised with the positioning of the toilet roll holder. A pet dog was left alone in one of the rooms and barked all night. I felt concerned about it. Me and my husband enjoyed dinner in the restaurant, however we both felt unwell after eating on the night of our arrival. I couldn’t sleep that night nor be able to leave our room for most of the the following day.
Great location by the sea!
Stunning location, amazing food, friendly staff! The bar staff were particularly good - excellent cocktails!
Jacuzzi was always full of kids! Very patchy wifi.
Scenery was stunning, actual hotel and room were absolutely lovely, the staff was so helpful, they let us have dinner past the time they were serving, breakfast was amazing!
Not a thing.

Happy with the property
Great location. Very relaxing, nice clientelle. Food was very good. Service was excellent.
Bed was small.
Fantastic rooms and grounds
No issues
Very calm relaxed hotel, friendly staff and amazing location
The set menu in the restaurant doesn’t allow for those who do not want have it in a group, in a 5 course meal for €65 there was an exception made if you want 1 course for €35, seemed excessive. Bar food is available though for less formal meal.
Top notch - country house grandeur but comfortable throughout
Nothing
Everything! Excellent staff training has really paid off. From the moment I arrived, the warm welcome started a wonderful stay. I've booked to stay on for another night!
Small issue but no shelf in bathroom for personal toilet bag.

Quaint hotel in beautiful surroundings
The location was so beautiful! All staff were welcoming and friendly. Meals were delicious. Live traditional music in front of a peat fire was magical!
Some parents of multiple young children allowed their children to tantrum and scream through breakfast. Of course this was not the hotel’s fault but it really made breakfast miserable for us.
Super location, super food, super walks and beautiful bathroom and bedroom with very comfy bed
It was unseasonably warm when we were there so the hotel was possibly not geared up to have fans in the bedrooms. Being able to actually open a window was a pleasant surprise and did the trick!
extremely nice and helpful staff; lovely surroundings, great food, lovely atmosphere, many possibilities to sit in different areas, great outdoor opportunities, just beside the Atlantic - fantastic view
Excellent magical and kept in meticulous condition .Grest facilities like pool and walks and beach Staff excellent and attentive - food amazing
Nothing it was perfect
Everything was top notch! Amazing dining,incredible solitude and very comfortable Lots to do - brilliant facilities from jacuzzi,swimming,kayaks and boating! Super music in the bar on Fri night.
Our stay was far too short!

Loved the fruit and pastries, ordered potato cakes for breakfast and got a tiny potato cake. Dinner was excellent
The hotel is at the sea end of a long drive where you can leave stress behind. It is surrounded by beautiful gardens , the staff are friendly and nothing is too much trouble. My single room was spacious with a beautiful bathroom, spotless and with an amazing view. The outdoor heated pool was a bonus in the glorious weather. Food was of an excellent standard. There were numerous places to sit by the fire or overlooking the garden. A real gem.

Great location beside the beach
The bedroom was a good size and has potential, but was poorly styled. Needs Francis Brennan
Location stunning. Food wonderful. Staff friendly.

Amazing breakfast including vegan and fish options.
Hot tubs could have been hotter
The extra activities, an historical live play, a harp recital and the heated outside pool and the hot tubs by the sea.
Perhaps up to date activities i.e. what's on each week on the hotel website would be great though it was a great surprise too to arrive and discover what was on!
Anne Marie and staff are absolutely wonderful- we were treated like royalty. Anne Marie runs a fantastic business. We keep going back

Nothing at all
All the food breakfast dinners
Nothing I liked it very much
My Mam and I came for a night for my Birthday and we had a wonderful time. The outdoor pool and hot tub was amazing. Dinner was exceptional. We spent a cosy night int he bar with an open fire and slept so very well. Then started our next day with a delicious breakfast. I could not fault the place in the slightest.
That I had to leave, my stay was far to short but I will definitely be back again :)
