While this is contactless lodging, we had everything we needed and a spacious room for three. The restaurant downstairs was excellent and convenient. Beautiful area too.

A fridge in the room would be a welcome addition, and more comfortable pillows. Don't get me wrong, it's a nice place, well maintained, but no breakfast available unfortunately, and the nearest place only offers breakfast from 10am onwards. If you have an early start I suggest you make arrangements outside of the area.

Although I wouldn't call this a 'hotel' I did have a very nice stay here. There was no front desk help but check in was very easy as it was detailed nicely in the messages prior to arriving. The room was great and had a wonderful view out over the water. The restaurant was also great and very convenient.

View was amazing, although suggest adding a single door from room to allow to go out to the beautiful waters edge. Room was very very hot. No way to cool it down. If there was an external access door, this would have also addressed the over heating.

Rooms are clean and well maintained but I found it noisy with noise from other rooms. You can hear people using the toilet and shower very clearly in other rooms, as well as TV noise from other rooms. There were no parking spaces when we arrived because the restaurant was very busy, and we couldn’t get a table. We walked about 15mins into town and had something to eat in another bar.

There is no hotel staff to speak of, and the restaurant staff was mixed. But it is a fantastic property right on a beautiful lake.

The entrance to the hotel is not evident since it is confused with the bar and restaurant next to it. The facility was very clean and the view over the water was beautiful. The heating was on too high but there was no one to talk to about this since this was a self check in accommodation. The restaurant served reasonably priced delicious food from a varied menu. It had a beautiful view of the water, service was excellent.

Views! This room was large, perfect for a family of four, and had an amazing view of the ocean which was literally right out the window. We could hear the ocean at night with the windows cracked. Bathroom was great too with HOT water and exceptional water pressure!

Stayed for a few days and enjoyed the scenery lovely double room facing the water, view was stunning, an easy 10 min stroll to Rathmullan, only 2 issues/gripes was no internal access to restaurant from hotel, no great when weather isn’t the best and no bed and breakfast option so need to pay between 10-14 euro if you want breakfast. No issues with auto check in and rooms made every day and staff very friendly and helpful.

A pleasant stay
Room was comfortable with everything we needed. Lovely view out to the water. Room was a little hot and was hard to collect down, windows didn't open very wide, no air conditioning. External lights remained on and curtains were not black out, so the late night light shining in the room was a little irritating.
