Emily was very attentive as were Mark and Ian(who cooked us a fab breakfast on the following morning). Room was spotlessly clean and had a lovely ensuite. We will definitely be... More

We visited this restaurant on a day where there were beautiful blue skies all day. The restaurant has panoramic views over Rossnowlagh bay with its beautiful expanse of white beach and mountains in the background. We were treated to a magnificent sunset which all the shared of blue and red possible – spectacular. The food was beautifully presented, we concentrated... More

Not really a trip advisor bunny but had to write a review after my dinner this evening. I travel all over the word, eat in great restaurants and am fairly critical about accommodation, cleanliness, food and general courtesy. My swordfish supper tonight was just Michelin star food, I'm not even keen on fish but Mark the manager recommended it and... More

My wife and I stayed at Smugglers Creek over the Easter break and found it to be a truly enjoyable experience. On arrival, we received a warm greeting from the Manager, Mark and felt immediately welcomed. Our room was on the first floor over the bar area, we were informed of this on booking but we didn’t mind as we... More

On arrival i thought... More

The view from the Inn is stunning - we enjoyed running along the beach in the morning, and imagine staying here during the summer would be lovely, as the beach is beautiful and... More

We didn't stay here as we hadn't booked and it was booked out (on a Wednesday!) but we stayed for dinner and were really impressed. The view is gorgeous too -- a lovely place to sit and have a beer or a cup of coffee. Service was on the slow side but we were on holidays so appreciated the laid... More
