Room was cold for the price we paid. A very limited choice for breakfast. Not everything on the breakfast menu was available. The chicken slice tasted of pork.

We have just returned home from an excellent 5 night stay at Balincourt. Staff were always friendly and helpful. The accomodation was top class and the breakfast options very good. The location couldn't have been more convenient with bus stops adjacent and a pub opposite.

Stunning flowers at the front of the building set the scene for this lovely little gem. The property and the grounds are clean, well kept, the owners clearly take great pride in their business. Little touches in the bedroom, bottled water, chocs plus the usual tea/ coffee facilities. Fantastic location, easy to get to town/ beach. On a main road served well by local transport, but not at all noisy. A lovely stay, thank you.

As reported TV not functioning, parking extremely tight for my SUV. Overall impression house is worn out, a bit of rust in one place, cracked or missing silicon in others. Staff very good and friendly. Don’t think Expedia should call this five star, there is no restaurant, just drinks bar and breakfast
