Lovely location
Lovely location in Dunfanaghy. Easy check-in. Friendly helpful staff and good breakfast. Room was ok, but bathroom a bit tight and towels really need upgrading - perhaps I expected more for the price.
Lovely atmosphere in the hotel and the staff allowed you to feel very at home, customer service outstanding and we would definitely stay again. Thank you Arnold’s 😊
Delightful reception staff in this iconic hotel which oozes history of celebrations from past eras. A lovely regal presence as soon as you enter with vibrant red sitting room around a fireplace. Our room was large with tasteful velvet drapes showcasing a delightful water view. Such a lovely stay - Thank you Arnolds
Beautiful stay at Arnold’s, was thankful they were able to extend our stay. Staff were amazing and friendly. Lovely scenery and walkable throughout the town. Can’t wait to return!
Very comfortable throughout. Good food. Great, friendly service. Shame about the derelict building opposite not within their control of course. Easy parking.
