Only stayed for one night so we didn't have a chance to sample the many amenities provided - which all looked great. Location on coast of Ardmore Bay is idyllic with convenient walk to nearby town and strand. Rooms and interior of the facility are wonderfully done, staff bends over backwards to help with anything and the tasting menu dining experience was terrific - a little spendy, but worth it.

Not the best, not bad either

Way too expensive for what it is. For 2 people, the room, dinner, couple of drinks, and a spa treatment each, we spent over 800e for 1 Sunday night stay. The view is incredible, rock pool is really nice, hotel staff were very nice, room was comfortable and quiet. We ate at The Bar. The staff weren't great. Service was poor. The mains were nice but the sides and starters were bad. Dinner ended up costing 100e a head. Bottle of Bulmers was 9e. Poor value for below average food. And a lot of small issues which arent really acceptable for such an expensive hotel. The menus in The Bar were dirty and covered in bits of food. Theres a shower by the rock pool but it doesn't work. The spa area is very basic, the sauna was cold when we went to use it. Half of the lockers in the spa changing room were broken. The shower in our room ran out of hot water. For some reason the phone in the room kept ringing through the night with no one on the other end, had to get up and unplug it. Nice views, but not worth the money compared to other 5 star hotels which cost substantially less.

Das Hotel ist wundervoll gelegen. Mit grossartigem Blick über die Bucht von Artmoor. Die Zimmer waren sehr schön eingerichtet mit einer kleinen sehr privaten Terasse. Die zimmer sind sehr klein, obwohl wir nicht die günstigste Kategorie hatten. Das Personal war nett. Man hatte aber das Gefühl, dass es unorganisiert ist. Viel zu viele Personen mit sehr beschränkten Aufgaben. Das Personal trug teilweise ausgefranzte Hosen, mit Flecken. Das Besteck war nicht immer ganz sauber. An der Rezeption wurden wir wärend unseres 1 wöchigen Aufenthaltes mindestens einmal täglich gefragt, ob wir einchecken oder abreisen wollten. Einmal wurde einfach unsere Rechnung schon mal ausgedruckt. Man hatte insgesamt das Gefühl das hier die rechte Hand nicht weiss, was die linke tut.
