“The Best Weekend Away in ages, Fab place”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 August 2010

We went here for the july bank holiday weekend, the rates were fantastic, we wer treated so well, got a gorgeous room with views of the sea, the staff in the hotel were so nice and accommodating, we made some great friends there :) the food in the restaurant was amazing especially the crab claws and the sauce they came in was to die for mmmmmmm! we had dinner there two night out of the 3, it was gorgeous and very reasonably priced!
The hotel is in a great spot right beside the harbour and only 2mins walk to many pubs restaurants and the beach which is just lovely! I used to come to dunmore as a child and the ocean hotel always stuck in my mind so i was dying to stay there, was much more than i expected!
the bar has a great atmosphere its always buzzing there was entertainment for the 3 nights we stayed was a great laugh!
I will definately be back very very soon :D missing it already

Pity this hotel has changed management. Its the worst hotel I have been in. Unkept, noisy and the food is poor. What a shame.

“MORE FRESH FOOD”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 June 2009
1
person found this review helpful

Going back to Dunmore East for the third time this year because I think its a lovely place. However, the availability of good resonable food is certainly on the downturn. Ate in the Ocean last year, I had a veg curry and hubby and mushroom vol u vent. We felt they had a good selection of vegetarian meals. Our kids got the kids, 1 had pizza and 1 had pasta. It stated on the menu that kids meals could only be ordered in conjunction with adults???!!!. We assumed due to this rather largese statement that they were going to arrive with an incredible feast for the children. Imagine our surprise when a TINY frozen pizza and a small portion of pasta arrived. We saw other children looking in amazement at their spartan portions also. Our meals were ok, nothing special but the kids were disgraceful.

“Loved the Ocean”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 August 2006

person found this review helpful

What a great place. The people are fantastic in this family owned Irish hotel, which gives it great vibes. Very nice to have the bar and restaurant on premises. Try the delicious seafood chowder. Not very fancy, but the warmth of the staff and the townfolks really makes it special.
