Good clean room. Comfortable bed although ours had exposed slatting which jutted out further than the mattress and this was a little difficult to negotiate. Good supply of hot water for the shower. Bathroom facilities in the room so that makes it interesting. Staff were friendly enough and we enjoyed a nice breakfast.

A one night stay following a family event nearby and the Ol' Duke became a nice place to rest our heads for the night. A lazy stroll around town, pizza on the beach while watching a magic sunset. Back to the Ol' Duke for a bottle of red before bed. Rediculously overpriced bottle for a local drop, but the staff... More

We stayed here two nights, a lovely pub with only 6 rooms and two family rooms known as the stables. Tea and coffee making facilities are out in the corridor. The rooms were tiny but very clean, but next time I would ask for a front room which overlooks the sea. The one we had overlooked the garbage bins. Guest... More

We stayed here for 2 nights. We found the accommodation to be simple but nice. A huge bed with crisp linen. It had everything we needed including an iron and coffee in the hallway. We found the staff to be friendly and professional. Portarlington is really beautiful. The only thing was "the open bathroom" there is no privacy when your... More

As with the comments from previous reviewers, the rooms are clean and pleasant, if a bit strange. The bathroom is part of the room and the toilet is in partial view of anyone in the room.Stagefright could be a problem!!!! Be aware that when you book a package of bed and breakfast , that the only thing included in breakfast... More

Hotel was very accommodating to our large group with young kids by giving us the function room at no extra charge. Food was brilliant, loved the mussels and pork belly. Dessert - creme brûlée excellent. Service was a little slow given size of group and Easter weekend, but the food made up for it.
