Good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travellers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
Breakfast was great. The rooms were nice with heated towels & floor. Nice ocean view. The owners just need to add the dining hours to the website for people getting in late or leaving early.
Extraordinary location in front of the Irish Sea and Lambay Island and Ireland[s Eye in view and Portmarnock Beach immediately in front.
Nothing negative. A real find.

When we arrived a gentleman that wasnt working on reception but was behind desk seemed to be a handy man,well he was very rude to be honest wasnt a very nice welcome
What lovely hosts who accommodated our 5am arrival and gave us an undisturbed later check out. This made a huge difference having a delay in our arrival and a long flight. The accommodations were clean, quiet and very comfortable. Thank you
Stunning view, friendly staff, ease to public transport
