This hotel's exterior doesn't even hint at what's inside. The area is spacious, flowing and absolutely lovely in the lobby and Waterfront restaurant. We drove all over Ireland for the past 2 weeks and this is the only hotel that had a shower curtain so the floor wasnt flooded (those half walls do nothing, especially when you can't adjust the showerhead to not spray outside the shower stall) and a bathroom exhaust fan so the mirror didnt steam over. The staff were so friendly and helpful,Orla especially, at reception. She recommended so many amazing things to do in the area. We went to some the next day and had so much fun at Hook Lighthouse, eating in Kilmore Quay and visiting Huntington Castle. The breakfast in the morning had fantastic pan au chocolate and the fried brie at Lord Bagenals restaurant was so very good. We really enjoyed our 2 nights here and would definitely stay here again.

Disappointing Stay at the Lord Bagenal Inn – Not Worth the Price ⭐️⭐️☆☆☆ Of all the places I stayed during my 10-night trip through Ireland—both in the Republic and Northern Ireland—the Lord Bagenal Inn was, unfortunately, the only one I truly didn’t enjoy. At €195 per night, I expected something much better, especially this far into my journey (night 9), when I had plenty of comparisons. The room felt tired and dated, with worn carpet featuring visible stains and furniture that was both scratched and oddly arranged. It didn’t feel thoughtfully put together—just mismatched and neglected. To make matters worse, the view from the room was dismal. I can’t help but wonder if booking through Expedia influenced the room assignment, but regardless, it was far from pleasant. The layout of the hotel was also confusing and impractical. From the elevator, I had to navigate a set of stairs down to the room—an odd and inconvenient design, especially for guests with luggage. It left me scratching my head as to how this setup made it through planning for a modern traveler. That said, I do want to give credit where it’s due: the breakfast was genuinely excellent—by far the best of all the accommodations we stayed in throughout Ireland. It was clear that more care and attention went into the kitchen than into the guest rooms. All in all, while the Lord Bagenal Inn might work for some, it just didn’t meet the expectations set by the price or my previous stays elsewhere in Ireland

A true gem

This was such a beautiful hotel in such a beautiful location. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful and we loved the decor and different spaces to just relax within the hotel. We dined in the bistro and again, this was a great experience. Would definitely stay here again.
