The mussels were the best I’ve ever had! The warm goat cheese salad was sooooo good! The staff was OK. Didn’t check on you after food was delivered. The view of the beach was lovely.

We had a great stay! All of the staff were wonderful, especially Emily, who was delightful - felt like we were friends from the moment I booked the room over the phone till check out! Our room had gorgeous views of Rossnowlagh beach. The food was delicious. Would highly recommend the supreme of chicken and the penne pasta. We will be back again for some oysters :)
