Loved the breakfast offerings and friendly staff. The pub and lovely bartender also great. Also loved the Charlie Chaplin connection. Wish we could have spent more time at your venue-we shall return!

6/10 Good

Beef stew from the lobster amazing. Darrynane national park/beach beautiful

8/10 Very good

We had a pleasant stay at the hotel, the staff were very friendly and the rooms were spacious, clean and comfortable. However you could tell it had recently reopened and there were a few teething issues - Although the staff were very friendly service could feel awkward and clunky at times. when breakfast arrived the food and coffee were stone cold. The facilities could do with some improvement- On one evening we went to play pool in the lounge and the table had a tear in it and every cue was broken. For such a large hotel there could be a bit more going on for example an onsite spa. Overall though we did enjoy our stay and the views are spectacular.

Lovely room but...

Room was lovely. Very disappointed with breakfast. Hot breakfast served on a cold plate, and items cooked some time before., so not fresh. Served to order but not cooked to order unfortunately. Also, service wss very slow. We were 30 mins waiting for our cooked breakfast.
