"Great location and friendly checkin. Place is bigger than you think and we went upstairs and down some hallways and doors to our room. The room was perfect with a little seating area to watch things go by with a view of the bay. Dinner was delicious with a good selection (book early) and breakfast was cooked to your request. The full Irish breakfast was excellent! All in all a great hotel and restaurant with a bar and ideally placed. Loved it."

"An Absolutely Magical Stay My husband and I stayed at Armada House while visiting Spanish Point, and our experience was absolutely incredible. The staff were exceptionally kind, welcoming, and helpful throughout our stay. We stayed in a sea-view room with a beautiful copper tub, which was such a luxurious touch. The bed was incredibly comfortable, the linens were wonderful, and every detail felt thoughtfully considered. Breakfast was truly out of this world! Our entire stay was phenomenal and felt genuinely magical. We highly recommend Armada House—it is absolutely worth it. If we are ever back in this part of Ireland, we will definitely stay here again!"
