Judy, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The views are stunning! The ability to lie in bed in front of a gas fire and at the same time look out the window to the ocean was amazing. If you bring your own dishes and glasses, the kitchenette is fine for snacks and simple meals. We didn’t try the pool or hot tub. The room was in reasonable condition but could use a refresh. Nothing terrible, it’s just a bit tired. There was a fair bit of noise from both next door and upstairs, which was unfortunate. This was our 3rd stay here, twice in the same room. I’d definitely stay again, but will choose a different room if this one hasn’t been updated a bit. It’s also lovely to be right next door to The Cedars restaurant at Tigh Na Mara. Stay here, eat there!
