I stayed here for 2 nights b&b and a dinner for €99 euro per person. The service was excellent and we all had a great weekend. Food was exceptional considering it was part of a package deal.

Nice hotel. Still new looking. We checked in only to discover a pair of soiled pants hanging from the shower rail. Went to reception, explained this and were apologised to. The situation was handled (excuse the pun) professionally.The offending pants were removed. We ate in the bar that evening, it was very busy. However an hour and a half wait... more

We stayed in the Downings Bay Hotel in Downings with my wife and father-in-law in May 2006. The hotel is well located right on a spacious beach. We got a special deal at 120 Euros for a double and single including breakfast. The rooms were spacious, clean and well decorated. All staff encountered were very friendly and helpful. My wife... more
