“relaxing holiday”

Reviewed 21 May 2013

This hotel has large double rooms, with a comfortable settee looking out of the window. There was good lighting so it was possible to read in the room. The hotel is situated on a cliff about a mile from the town making it very quiet. There was entertainment in the bar until 11.00 4 nights. The one downside was the... More

“No free wifi 3 star hotel”

The star rating probably relates to the facilities there - the hotel is a decent 3 star otherwise. Would have liked to hang out there more but wifi 10 euro per 2 hours which doesn't go far. Breakfast terrible and the evening menu smelled terrible so didn't try it. Snack and room service menu (and food when I tried it)... More
