We spent a very relaxing week here in early July. Given the current concerns around covid, Louise and Paula (the owners) are doing an excellent job of endeavouring to protect both guests and staff. All staff wear masks or facial visors around the hotel and restaurant. There is a dedicated staff member who spends the day cleaning all regularly touched surfaces in common areas. The room was spacious with a gorgeous view of the sea and coastline. The restaurant which has windows along one side looking out over the sea, is beautifully decorated with touches of art deco. But more importantly, while not cheap, the food is delicious. While we mostly explored the coast line between Catherdaniel and Valentia island, the hotel has several gorgeous communal rooms (many of which were rarely used). This is a great hotel for couples and singles. While it doesn't have a spa, it has old world charm that has been kept up to date. It's a excellent place to explore the area from, with Derrynane House ( interesting tours of Daniel O'Connells house & great coffee shop) and stunning beach a few kms away, and Valentia island with views over the skelligs also close by. We had a delicious (fish/seafood) meal at The Point gastropub. My only (very minor) complaint would be that I had to ask for tea/coffee facilities for the room - with the wild Atlantic, two days we couldn't see out...We spent a very relaxing week here in early July.

But we had several sunny days and the beaches here don't disappoint.More
