Staff were very good. Food excellent. The issue is that this is not a 5 star hotel in its amenities. The big fails are the lift which keeps sticking and doesn't then work, the truly dreadful paintwork, tables where the varnish has degraded so everything sticks to the surface, room fridges don't cool, holes in the bath towels. Positive, this could be a marvellous hotel.

Lovely hotel in quiet village, beautiful location

The hotel is in a lovely old building, next to a golf course and the coast, in a pretty village. My wife and I enjoyed our stay there. It is a quiet and comfortable hotel, with good dining. I could imagine sitting out on the front verandah on a warm day, with a cold drink in hand; a very pleasant place to be.

Reception, downstairs lounge and bar area were very warm and nicely furnished and decorated. Extremely poor service at breakfast. One person serving and we waited 1hr 15 for food even then we had to ask to order. Food was nice when it came but disappointing overall.

I loved the property—next to or a part of the Dornach Golf Club and within walking distance to the beach and sea. The staff were phenomenal—kind, courteous, and professional. I found Bob and the rest of the staff eager and enthusiastic to assist their guests. They made me feel very welcome. I Highly recommend staying at this property
