Reviews and Ratings
I had a lovely stay at this hotel, which boasts an incredible beachside location perfect for walks and surfing. The rooms had a wonderful ocean view and were clean, though they felt a bit small for a double. The staff was exceptionally friendly and provided great service throughout my stay. Dining was cozy but could use a bit more variety for breakfast. Overall, a nice experience, but there are a few areas for improvement, especially regarding room size.
The hotel has an incredible location right on the beach, which is a major plus for anyone looking to enjoy the ocean. The rooms were modern and spacious, providing a comfortable stay. The staff were friendly and attentive, which added to the experience. However, I found the dining options could use a bit more variety, especially at breakfast. Overall, a good value for a beach getaway.
I recently stayed at this hotel, and I was really impressed by the beautiful views of Rossnowlagh beach and the spacious, clean rooms. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making our experience enjoyable. However, one of the rooms we had didn’t have working heating, which was a downside. Overall, the value for money was decent, but I wish the dining experience had more variety at breakfast.
The hotel is located on beautiful Rossnowlagh beach, offering superb views. The rooms, while lovely, could use some updating and were a bit cramped. The service was impeccable, with skilled and caring staff. The dining experience was enjoyable with a nice table service, although the food quality could be improved. Overall, a great location with friendly service, despite some room limitations.
The hotel is marvellous, right on one of the most beautiful beaches you'll find anywhere, with stunning views of Rossnowlagh Strand and Donegal Bay. The rooms are clean, comfortable, and spacious, offering a wide variety of seating options suitable for all ages and abilities. The service was exceptional, with staff who were very pleasant, helpful, and always went out of their way to ensure we had everything we needed. The dining experience was fantastic, especially the Neapolitan pizza, and the facilities were top-notch.
The hotel offers a mix of great and not so great aspects. The rooms are very comfortable, and the fireplace and lounge area are fantastic. On the downside, the furniture is outdated, and there was a disappointment about not getting a room with a sea view.
