Mixed Feelings About This Stay

The room did not have air conditioning. The open windows led directly to the noisy outdoor bar area. The noise continued from early until late. I also found it uncomfortably hot.

The location on the sea is beautiful and I enjoyed the scenery. A walking path goes along the coast to Malahide and I visited it. I was given a ground floor room because I traveled with a baby.

The shower didnt work for two of my four nights here. Access to ice was not available at all. Coffee was not available until 6:30 AM and is not free .

Excellent Golf and Spa Experience

The hotel has secure metered parking free for residents. The staff were great, and the spa experience was amazing. I played golf on the Jameson Links, a fantastic course set up to the highest standard.

The drink prices in the bar were exorbitant. On principle, i would not pay those prices again.

She provided very professional service. i found the jameson links golf course to be set up to the highest standard. It was a true test for any player.

The small balcony could use some tidying up. I did notice weeds and clay buildup from birds.
