Lovely room, really big and a large comfy bed. What more do you need?… maybe a few more gluten free options at breakfast would be good, there was nothing on the buffet I could eat. But I did get a cooked breakfast that was nice.

Lovely seaside location with great views towards Aran. Our room was large with a great big comfortable bed and a fab bathroom with a jacuzzi bath and rainfall shower over it. The bar and restaurant are also lovely with good selection of food for dinner and breakfast, both of which we enjoyed..

8/10 Very good

Hotel is immaculate and rooms are spotless. Room was amazing we couldn’t fault it but we didn’t sleep too well due to the heat of the room. We couldn’t figure out how to turn the heating down as some radiators had knobs to change this some didn’t, it was like a sauna so we didn’t sleep very well. Food was ok it was very overpriced for what it was. I got prawns to start and it had 3 prawns in it and they were not the biggest either which was 11/12 pound. For main I got scallops that were Lovely but wasn't the most filling, they came with chips but staff forgot to give us the chips until we finished. 27 pound for a small plate with some scallops very overpriced but they where nice just not the most filling plate for a main. Frozen Strawberry daiquiris were amazing highly recommend. Bar area felt more like a cafe didn’t really have much atmosphere but that’s just a personal observation. All staff from the restaurant to the bar to the reception desk and spa where all so friendly and welcoming. Spa itself is amazing loved every minute of it. We got a bite to eat in spa lounge food was nice but I ordered a glass of water and a coke and it didn’t come until I finished my meal 15 minutes later. Was a little disappointed you could use blue light card for main restaurant but not the spa lounge even though it’s the same food and coming from the same place just in a different room. Overall the hotel itself was great and spa was amazing.

8/10 Very good

Lovely hotel for our overnight stay, staff very friendly. Restaurant was very good for our evening meal with a comprehensive menu. Only slight downside was they were doing some groundwork at the rear and side of the property so it was a little noisy early in the morning.

Great pet friendly hotel - right on the beach

This is a modern well maintained hotel. Ultra pet friendly!! Right on the beach Good quality bar food, great breakfast Great staff. It is also right on the road so do book a beach facing room - we did not and the room was OK, but we yearned to open our window - and it was not to be as this is a busy road.

A week at The Open

A five day stay to watch The Open Golf championship at Troon. The hotel was not able to provide TV coverage of the golf which was unfortunate ans most residents were there for the golf. The hotel took advantage of the golf to charge a premium for standard rooms. It may be better value to travel in from further afield during the championships.

6/10 Good

From the outside, the hotel would be more in keeping in Cornwall than the rugged west coast of Scotland. My welcome was sadly half hearted and disinterested but my room was well appointed and comfortable. However, the restaurant is trying to be something that it isn’t. It was suggested that I take a seat on a sofa in the bar area and someone would take a drinks order. After 15 minutes, patience ran out! I didn’t fancy a starter and thought a small dish of olives would suffice. The cheapest, nastiest olives I’ve seen or tasted for a long time. No stick to eat them with and after enquiring, a plastic toothpick was the best on offer! My fish pie was good but glazed carrots are just the wrong vegetable. The charming waitress was overly busy whilst her colleague, in an inappropriately short skirt, propped up the kitchen pass chatting to the duty manager/restaurant manager who was equally ineffectual and lacking in observation. Some good ideas but shock application. I wouldn’t return.
