10/10 Exceptional

Lovely spot before the ferry, room spotless and comfy, bar was great, locals friendly and the braised beef I had was amazing. Only 1 hiccup, I preordered the breakfast for 8am so could leave for the ferry on time , At 8.30 I had to request to takeaway the breakfast and ate it in the car at the ferry port. Probably the worst breakfast I ever had The guy was under pressure I suppose as I didn’t want to miss my ferry. Nice sausage bacon anaemic mushroom like shoe leather. I’d definitely stay here again though but go to Micky D for a muffin.

Clearly the folks here are working hard to bring this lovely old inn back to life. A few kinks to be worked out, but we enjoyed our night there. The food in restaurant was very good, if a bit limited on item availability.

As advertised this is a basic hotel, however everything was very clean and I received a very warm and professional greeting from the staff.

The service is amazing, they're all so friendly. The kitchen is excellent and there are often events in the hotel going on. On my arrival they had live music by local bands. Felt home in the area immediately. Don't be fooled by the 2-star rating, it's a simple facility but with everything else, they're a 4-star for me!

So close to the ferry port..Nice little hotel with sea views. Food in the restaurant was very good had prawns in garlic starter husband had smoked mackerel pate. To follow I had ham egg chips. Gammon was huge Husband had seafood pasta with garlic bread. We also had a cocktail each. Altogether a good stay. Room very comfortable. Would recommend to anyone going on the ferry to Dublin as an overnight stay

Great option for family of four

We had booked a family room and were pleasantly surprised when this was actually 2 rooms with a private connecting hall with storage space and shower room. Looks like it could be used as separate rooms with shared shower room also. Rooms were clean and beds were comfortable. Reception friendly and a great choice of options for breakfast. We used as a base as were kayaking for 2 days, so didn’t have the opportunity to try the evening meals. Their website did state that they were newer owners and in process of updating. Doing a good job of getting through it from what we saw. Might not suit someone looking for a generic bland chain hotel experience.

Only stayed overnight but it's a nice place, in a very nice location, room was large & bath was great. I didn't have a chance to dine there but will on my return trip.

The owner was friendly and very helpful during checkin. The hoel is undergoing renovations at the hotel moment but these did not interfere with our stay.

Extremely friendly, comfortable, and dog friendly. The food in the bar was properly home cooked and obviously not from a packet. While it's a bit of a walk to the docks, the hotel is right next to the Breakwater country park, allowing for scenic walks or runs.

Rosemary, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I arrived arr. 1pm, much earlier than normal hotel checkin time. As I came from West coast USA, I was exhausted due to time difference and having not a good sleep before the day, just about to collapse. The young lady led me to a back room as my room-to-be was not cleaned yet. It was not a usual guest room, a kind of a special room with sofa. I just fell in sleep on the sofa until she came to get me. Because of that short sleep, I could get my normal sense back. This hotel is close to the sea. you can eat breakfast watching the boats floating on the peaceful sea. They have quiz nights, something night (can’t remember), gathering village people in their salon.This place is not a Hilton nor any big name hotel, but all the people working there are really nice folks, very kind, friendly, and sincere. I am going back there after 3 days in other city. People who love sincerity, old days’ way of life will love this small friendly guesthouse.

Staff and hotel was great! I would just clean it up a bit outside to make it more inviting. This is feed back from family memebers that live in Holyhead when they picked us up. Overall great place great beer.

A beautiful spot

Great position. Very helpful and friendly staff. Great food. The room was spacious but the beds were painfully soft and the shower was an anemic, cold dribble.

Lovely location. 20-30 minute walk to train station/Dublin ferry. Otherwise transport very difficult, might help to book ahead. Beautiful location
