No Laundry Available

Stayed here for an overnight as part of a larger trip. Hotel is under renovation so exterior had construction and interior of halls mid renovation but room was beautiful, big and very comfortable. It mentions laundry facilities but no laundry available, had to drive 5-10 minutes down the road to do laundry which wasn’t the cheapest. We ended up eating dinner at the Fleet Inn which was about 5-10 minute walk away which was very good.

Rooms are clean and updated. The beds were very comfortable. Arrived with a flat tire and the front desk staff were very helpful in calling a garage for assistance. Great location for exploring the region.

Not worth the money during renovations!!

When I arrived the Hotel was under renovation and this was not added to any of the web site or on hotels.com or I would of picked a different hotel, I was in a room that had just been plaster boarded but not completed, its didn’t have a TV defo not worth £124 a night, breakfast was weird as the orange juice did not taste like orange juice, the room was freezing as the radiator was too small for the room and I had to go to reception to ask them to put the heater on. the worker didn’t stop working till 20:00 to 20:30! And the hotel did not offer me another room or compensation other then Gunnies and 1 glass Jamesons to warm. To be honest the people were nice but they should of closed the hotel completely until the refurbished was complete instead taken customer money and giving the customer a poor experience on the their first time visits i think personally they should at least discounted these room because they were not worth £124 and night! A complete disappointment to say the least and even if the hotel was completely renovated I would not considered this hotel again for the fact they still charged full price for a rubbish room which didn’t have a TV and only the bathroom was complete.

Poor Night Stay

Hotel is under renovation. Should have been disclosed when booking. No parking at the hotel. Parked car three blocks away on city street. Room was dirty. Found food wraps and food on carpet. Bathroom fixture was broke. Last straw, room included breakfast. Tried to order coffee. They said instant coffee included, we had to pay for brewed coffee.

Not great

Let me start by saying the food is lovely and the staff very friendly and most helpful and the room itself on first glance clean and lovely bearing in mind it was a superior suite it should be . Very clean and comfortable bed HOWEVER, there was a continuous constant droning noise in the room mostly above the bed . On asking reception about it we were told it was the fans from the kitchen and they would be turned off at 9pm. Found this weird as we were on the top floor but there it was. NO it continued through r the night droning on and on the kind of noise that gets inside your head!!! And to top it all below us we had a guest that from 2am was wailing constantly until 8am not the fault of the hotel I know but the other was so all in all the worst nights sleep I have ever had would probably have been better off in one of the other rooms so until they get that noise sorted out DONT book the Tara suite

Great view of the port and vessels. Receptionist (Erin), manager (Killian), and waitress (Fionna) were helpful, personable, and interesting. They made the stay as memorable as the location. Food was good. Location is a gateway to a fascinating area.

Lovely short stay hotel

We really enjoyed our stay here. Our room had a wonderful view right over the harbour - we even spotted an otter in the water! There is a fairly busy road right outside but with the window closed, we barely even noticed any noise. All staff were friendly and helpful, and everywhere was very clean. I would recommend a stay here!
