I had a lovely view of the sea from my room, making it clean, cosy, and very comfortable. However, being directly under the wood staircase was a minor inconvenience. The staff was incredibly kind and helpful, ensuring a very courteous and professional service experience. The hotel's location was just perfect for an overnight stay before catching the Irish Ferry, within walking distance to great restaurants and a beautiful hiking path by the water. The dining was top-notch with a wide variety of fresh, locally sourced options. Overall, a fantastic stay with a few minor drawbacks.
