“disappointing”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed June 23, 2012

I recently had the misfortune of having booked 3 nights at the Strand Inn Waterford! the area itself is very picturesque but the Inn is very disappointing! the bedroom was very tatty with mildew round the patio door, the bad odour from the bathroom would take your breath away there was such a gap above and below the bedroom door i dont know why they bothered putting one up at all!! the breakfast service i have to admit was very good with friendly staff! its just a pity the bar and reception staff werent of the same calibre! Give it a miss there are plenty of lovely fresh clean B & B's around.

Room Tip: Give it a miss!!!

“Great food.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed June 13, 2012 via mobile

Had our evening meal here whilst staying over night at The Beach Guesthouse. Extensive choices on menu using locally caught and grown produce. Can recommend the beef stew with potatoes and the smoked mackeral and garlic / cheese potatoes. Friendly service.

“Dessert good, meal poor”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed June 2, 2012

The restaurant, pub area, was dirty. The fish pie was overseasoned with thyme, oregano with dill -- very strange flavor combination. The brown bread was good, apple crumble, very good and service friendly. The food was over priced for the quality we received.

“So much potential, but does not follow through.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed May 27, 2012 via mobile

I fell in love with dunmore east when I first came here last summer. The strand has an amazing location and I promised to stay here when I returned.
Unfortunately the hotel did not live up to my expectations. The room was a little tatty and had a musty smell. The food was certainly not worthy of the high prices. I would have been satisfied if I had the same meal at 65 percent of the cost, however the high price just left me feeling ripped off.
The staff were friendly but really felt like seasonals with little experience or training.
This review seems very negative so I will say the location is stunning and the Craic in the bar was great. The place is definitely seems like a great pub, just not a great hotel or restaurant.

“Food in this hotel overpriced”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed May 5, 2012 via mobile

Only ate here but it is not listed under restaurants - ate lunch in the bar and found the food very ordinary and hugely overpriced - we ordered a toasted sandwich which came out barely toasted, chips which were like Mc Donald's but had a taste of the cooking fat and chowder which was "fine" but at €8.50 should have been much better.

Overall - this place is riding on the publicity of "at you service" and should be getting these things right
