Due to recent flooding in the area & at the hotel we were meant to stay in, my partner & I were booked into this hotel for a two night Dinner B&B break. The rooms are a very standard 3* Double & Single affair, comfortable but nothing special. The view from the room was pretty grotty - a caravan park... More

I cannot find a fault with this hotel. Room was better than expected considering the cost. The service was lovely, they assisted us with information, maps, and directions.The only minor negative detail might be that the adjacent bar/restaurant was quite loud one night because there was a wedding. I think it ended by midnight though, and not a big deal... More

Staff were great, from checkin, to the bar, to breakfast team. Very helpful with location things to do. Our room was very spacious, hot powerful shower and nice toilitries. Room had tea/coffee facilities and biscuits. The location on the beach is fantastic and good parking facilities. It is popular with families so eating in the bar could become a bit... More

From the moment I telephoned this hotel to book and spoke to this lovely lady called Joan who was so professional, yet very welcoming on the phone, I just knew we were going to enjoy it and we certainly did. Joan had always time for a quick chat and was so keen to know if everything was ok for us... More

I have stayed a number of times at this hotel. Each visit has been excellent! The staff are friendly, helpful and very welcoming. The food is very good. We usually go on a 2nights B&B+1 dinner, which is amazing value (even if you go in high season when it is a little bit more expensive!). The area of Downings/Atlantic Drive... More

I stayed in the Downings Hotel for 6nights while I attended an Irish Language course close by. I was delighted with my stay, the staff were very friendly throughout the week and I felt very comfortable there from the start even though I was staying alone. I ate breakfast daily in the hotel and service was prompt and very tasty... More

This welcoming little hotel sits snugly in the heart of Downings village and is right next the beach. In fact this is literally just yards away. There is plenty of parking and the amenities of this lovely little village are right on the doorstep. It's also a short stroll to the picturesque harbour and the great little cafe at McNutts....

Booked this hotel for our 29th Anniversary, the hotel has been refurbished and rooms were very comfortable, but it lacked atmosphere, we spent our two evenings up at the Harbour Bar which was great! Also Leisure Centre was not connected to the hotel which was dissapointing. We booked the Restaurant for our Anniversary meal which was fantastic, unfortunately there was... More
