Lovely hotel.
Lovely hotel with friendly staff. Small compact gym. Easy parking. It was a great base for our family trip. Decor could be a little more modern in the rooms. Communal areas felt cosy.

Xmas break in Waterford
Weekend break just after Xmas 2018. Lovely spot 5 min drive to Dungarvan town, room was nice maybe a little bit dated but clean and had all you need. Hotel was relaxed in general, bar was ok, not a great atmos but food from it was good. Had a guy with guitar on Saturday and DJ playing usual stuff on Sun. Kids allowed in bar til late but were well behaved. Definitely good place for families and staff were lovely. Would recommend.

Views yes, condition no.
Lovely location with great views over the bay, sunset was stunning. Staff are very helpful and friendly, food is ok. This hotel is now some 35 years old and has been well used now in real need if some TLC Rooms are tired as are the bar and restaurant Changing room for the leisure complex is a bit dire to say the least. Lots of noise from other guests as the walls are on the thin side. Nd bathrooms are now somewhat primitive. I could go on but on the positive side, helpful and friendly staff smooth the way, parking is very convenient and the views from front facing rooms is a delight. I see they have villas/ lodges but cant comment as I only stay one night in the main building. Would I stay again, sorry to say,possibly not.

Great location, good hotel facilities
Great bayside location near Dungarvan town. A great springboard location to enjoy many of County Waterford's Tourist gems such as beaches and the new Greenway. Hotel gives a good service but can be a disappointing first impression as it is quite dated and set in a 1980's era. In need of bringing into the 21st century - otherwise it was a good experience !

Views from hotel very beautiful. But the hotel reception and corridors were very cold. We had toasted sandwich in the bar which was good. The bed room was very warm, clean but dated. The tv remote did not work the volume. Staff were helpful and friendly.

Average hotel
Nice location overlooking estuary but you need car to get into the town of Dungarvan. Hotel clearly aim at servicing the needs of the co-located leasure centre and golf course. Needs a facelift, not dirty but tired. Great for groups of golfers. Small play park for the children would have been good if we had children.

If we had young children, and a limited budget, with the weather as good on our one evening/overnight stay, it would be quite adequate. A real 1950/1960's family seaside hotel athmosphere!

I booked a room with a sea view but our room overlooked the car park. There was no tv remote in our room. We had a long wait for our breakfast and they had run out of orange juice before we arrived at 9.30am. The bar was very depressing. Overall the hotel is in bad need of a revamp.

Everyone from the managers to the maids couldn't enough to be helpful. My room had a lovely view of the bay too. I would highly recommend this hotel to my friends.
