The views across the bay from our room were terrific, the food was good, room was spotless and comfortable, ensuite modern. What really made our stay though was the friendliness and helpfulness of the hard working staff.

Staff were fantastic and the food was superb. Very generous portions too. Breakfast included in price meant the overall price was excellent value. Location is great and the views to the beach lovely (plus beach was easy walking distance). Room was basic but had everything needed. Whole place had a friendly and relaxed vibe from start of our stay to the end. Would happily recommend to anyone.

Great place!

Lovely place to stay, we’ve stayed here a few times and will do again. The food in the restaurant is excellent and great value. The room (that we had) is small but has everything you could need and a comfy bed. Staff are really friendly.

No breakfast!

Breakfast didn't start until nine, despite being told I could get some. The door was looked to the bar, so no way to get any breakfast. Not good for people needing to get to work. I missed breakfast on both mornings. Mattress not good, room basic.

Was surprised by the Waterford. Great food, lovely staff, very comfortable bed, quiet room, great shower, and working central heating (something MANY hotels get wrong!)
