8/10 Very good

Good location, pleasant stay!

The walls were paper thin and could hear next door all night. The room was comfortable though and the breakfast was very tasty with good gluten free options. There was a nice walk by the hotel to a little beach. It is walkable into Arklow town too which was good. I was very surprised that the pool only opens at 9am on a Sunday, too late to get a swim in before breakfast.

Great for a long weekend!

We stayed for a long weekend as a family. The reception and restaurant were really nice and modern. The rooms however need a renovation, bit outdated. Still comfortable and all one needed. All staff were super friendly and our kid received a cookie and milk every later afternoon which was super special.
