The Glengower is excellently situated, right on the promenade/beach. It offered a full hot breakfast and the pub itself offers a large and sophisticated menu. Everything we tried over the 3 days we were there was excellent. The parking may be a bit if a problem as the promenade road is very narrow but we found a good spot in the end. The room we had was comfortable tho a little tight.. the staff and service was excellent. We unfortunately did not have a sea view, but I will definitely suggest getting one as the view is excellent.

We ended up The Glengower because of an error with our original booking. It ended up being a much better option: the staff was lovely, the bar and restaurant was great, and the rooms were nice and comfortable for what we needed. And right by the water and shops around the corner. We would definitely stay here again.

The above speaks for itself. The breakfast was excellent. One minor criticism- the website says free parking, but that is very much dependent on the time of day and the number of cars trying to park in a small and crowded area.

Perfectly relaxing

Fabulous! A truly relaxing home from home, with friendly and professional staff. We appreciated the quiet of our room ( we didn’t hear other guests), it's draftproofed sash window with view over the seashore, along with a comfortable bed and sufficient space in the room to be at ease. We really enjoyed the warm, cosy and relaxed atmosphere downstairs , the character of the place and tasteful interiors, and last, but not least, the delightful christmas tree in the dining area! And both breakfast and dinner were very tasty.

My stay was for a single night but I wished I could have stayed longer. This is a lovely hotel and its location on the promenade made it absolutely perfect for my love of absea view and my rock collecting hobby. The staff were friendly and very helpful. Beeakfast was fantastic! The menu offered many options, and I was served quickly by the cheerful staff. I strongly recommend this hotel!

Great place to stay on the sea front.

Very friendly staff, warm environment, room was clean and really comfortable. Great sea views. Only slight negative was the bathroom lacked a bit of ventilation.
