    friendly staff
    delicious breakfast
    cold rooms
    reservation issues

    Could this be the unicorn we’re all looking for?

    The staff were genuinely friendly, and the cleaning standards met my expectations. Breakfast was varied and satisfying, featuring a delightful pancake machine for all to enjoy.

    Inconsistent room heating led to chilly discomfort during my stay. I found the dining reservation system unclear, which caused some dinner seating confusion.

    spacious room
    top-class breakfast
    road noise

    We had a mighty stay! The room was spacious with a walk-in wardrobe, perfect for us. Breakfast was top-class, especially the full Irish. Only downside was a bit of road noise in the morning. We’ll definitely be back to enjoy more of this lovely spot!

    limited activities

    We stayed with five kids and had a blast! The spacious twin room was perfect for our family. The food was high quality, accommodating various tastes, and the staff really brought a friendly atmosphere that made dining enjoyable for everyone.

    My kids wished for more activities on site to keep them entertained.

    unique entrance
    delicious food
    charming atmosphere
    door slamming

    The individual entrance to our room felt cozy and unique 😊. The bar's food was absolutely delicious, and the outdoor space with fairy lights created a charming atmosphere for relaxing. Proximity to the beach was a big plus!

    A bit of morning door slamming could use some consideration for quieter stays.

    reservation issues

    Rooms are spacious and clean, featuring helpful amenities like water bottles and a mini fridge. Dining options are plentiful with generous breakfast servings and good value dinner choices, including home-made yogurt. the dining reservation system is a bit unclear, leading to some confusion at dinner, and there were instances of inconsistent heating in the room which affected comfort during the night. Nonetheless, the staff were exceptionally friendly and accommodating throughout our stay.
