“In my opinion, this beachfront Victorian-era hotel is a family-friendly destination that features a desirable location near the Mourne Mountains and the Royal County Down Golf Club; while the spa's jacuzzi with mountain views is a definite highlight, some areas need attention. The attentive service and diverse dining contribute to a luxurious stay, but maintaining the overall condition should be a priority.”

The paintwork throughout the hotel looked quite poor. It needed updating. the drawers in the bedside lockers did not open properly. also, i found the rooms to be very dark, quite gloomy really.

acceptable stay
great location clean facility cold bacon limited channels
The hotel has a great location. The views were amazing! the leisure facilities are very clean, and the rooms were a good size too. i enjoyed my time in the spa and found it easy to relax.
I found the bacon cold and hard at breakfast. sometimes, the eggs seemed undercooked! the tv had a poor selection of stations. I could not access the full freeview channels. the bedside locker drawers did not open, annoying.

quality bedding pleasant bar furniture hair dirty towel
the breakfast buffet offered a good selection. our room was spacious and comfortable with quality bedding. i also found the public spaces including the bar area pleasant.
cleanliness was an issue i noticed. i found hair under furniture and on the towels. i also saw cobwebs on the lighting. i was disappointed in the cleaning standards expected of a four star hotel!
