Beautiful location with a view of the water! Room was big, clean, bed was comfy, and we enjoyed our stay very much. The weather was cool so there wasn't a need but A/C is not in the room. The fan provided was really nice! Highly recommended.

Very comfortable beds and lovely and clean. Bathroom could do with refurbishing, but otherwise the room was great. Staff were very friendly, polite and helpful. Can't praise them enough!

Children!

The hotel was faultless. However, our stay was marred by aot of ill behaved children whose parents didn't give the slightest bit of consideration to other peoples enjoyment. Screaming and running around the restaurant etc. I would love to come back here, but only if it was an adults only venue

Good location, pleasant stay!

The walls were paper thin and could hear next door all night. The room was comfortable though and the breakfast was very tasty with good gluten free options. There was a nice walk by the hotel to a little beach. It is walkable into Arklow town too which was good. I was very surprised that the pool only opens at 9am on a Sunday, too late to get a swim in before breakfast.

Depends on when

A couple of things I would say about this hotel. The lobby area and spa are nice. The restaurant has a limited menu but our dinner was very good. The rooms themselves are on the small side and do not have air conditioning or fans. We were visiting during a warmer time in August and with a west facing room was uncomfortable. In terms of the area you are about a 15 minute walk from bars and about 10 from Dunnes and grocery store. Don't bother trying to walk to the beach.
