Really Nice Stay
We had a really nice stay. Breakfasts and dinners were great. We loved walking on the beach and the beautiful views from our room and the restaurant. Our room was very clean and quiet and parking was easy, what more could we ask for?

The view from our room was absolutely beautiful looking straight onto the beech. Enjoyed relaxing on the sun veranda on the second floor.
Meals were first class and staff were so friendly.
Really enjoyed our few days there.

Rossnowlagh stay
I booked a double room and for some reason was booked as a single traveller
Hotel didn’t change our room and bed was quite small and not the most comfortable
After a bit of debate with hotel reception we were not charged any extra but were disappointed with uncomfortable bed
Had to show proof of purchase of what I had actually paid for room and was slightly embarrassed
We love rossnowlagh and have stayed in this hotel on quite a few occasions .food and overall trip was enjoyable but booking experience leaves a lot to be desired
