We had a lovely visit to this small hotel. The hotel had a lovely family feel. It was extremely busy on the Sunday we arrived, but we managed to get a table for dinner. Roast dinners are very reasonable and large portions. The next evening was less busy and easier to get seated in the restaurant. Food was reasonably priced and nice enough on that basis. Staff were very helpful and friendly. We enjoyed our stay.

Have recently returned after another great stay at this hotel. From check-in to check-out we were extremely well looked after. Rooms spotless and welcoming. Food excellent. Owner and staff have always time for a chat which makes guests feel very welcome. Well done to the whole team. Cant wait for another stay.

Just back from 2 nights in Strand hotel With 40 senior citizens, if I had anything to do with star ratings this hotel would be 5 star because rooms were clean, food was excellent. This was one of the best weekends we have ever had. Thank you to Johnny and all his staff for being so caring and above all the service was fantastic. We will definitely be back. Cheers Trevor.

Amazing just absolutely amazing from the welcome, staff and just the atmosphere. Rooms where clean and tidy. The food was just unbelievable, refused to eat anywhere else during my stay. Excellent price as well. Upgraded room on first day. The view is amazing few minute walk from a beautiful beach, local shop near by, stayed from the 5th june and checked out on 7th room 51/45. First day was sunday really busy resturant times and the kitchen staff was behind and the fact they came to let myself and partner know on the delays and order will be taken shortly, everything was just wonderful as many places would just leave you sitting wondering what is going on. Very assertive. Thank you for a beautiful stay and we will be back again :)

Beautiful hotel in a very scenic spot lovely beach within walking distance from hotel. Food was amazing and staff were friendly. Disappointed with room. Carpet was threadbare in parts. A lump in floor in another section. Damp mould on walls near window. Husband had to fix the door lock as it would open if pushed or pulled on. Very cold room heating was poor.

Cozy hotel, rooms are not fancy but, bed was very comfortable. Food is excellent, full Irish Breakfast, meals at night in the bar are delicious. Cozy atmosphere in the lounge. I would recommend this hotel for price value to anyone touring the northwest in the Republic of Ireland.

The Hotel decor is slight dated but don't let that put you off. It is spotless, excellent breakfast but the main reason I give it 5 stars is the staff, so friendly and professional. Great location, we will definitely be back again. Plenty of great bars in the area.
