Hidden Gem - fabulous 🌟
This place was totally not what we were expecting. It was right on the beach. Views from the balcony are awesome!
The place was easy to find, just off M1 and a pretty straight shot from there.
The staff (all we met anyway) were great, very accommodating and gave great service with a genuine smile and happy to help attitude.
The food was gorgeous, kudos to the cooks. Portions are big so bring an appetite and the drinks taste lovely.
I have recommended this place to anyone who will listen. Will definitely need to get back. It's not far from Dublin and many other places so it is accessible for those who want to go in to Dublin or anywhere else.

Ellie and other staff made the stay exception. Really felt welcomed.
The food at the restaurant was excellent. The best I’ve had in Ireland or Scotland. I was initially preparing for not so great food, but the food at this place was beyond great. Plus the service was excellent.

A last night night away and was absolutely fantastic right from the start with getting a room upgrade to all the staff who were so friendly and helpful, nothing seemed too much trouble to any of them
