Staying at this hotel was a cozy experience with clean and comfortable rooms, although slightly on the small side. The service was excellent and friendly, offering conveniences like room service and housekeeping. The location, right by the beach and within walking distance of shops, was ideal, but the dining options could use some improvements.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The rooms were spotless, offering a lovely view of the strand, with comfy beds and a decent shower. The service was top-notch, and the location was spectacular, just across the road from the Youghal prom and a beautiful beach. Dining was delicious, although breakfast was only mediocre.
