    It was well located at the edge of Youghal from which you could enjoy the historic town and, in the other direction, the long boardwalk and the blue flag beach

    The Hotel is in the best location in town with a fantastic view. The staff were knowledgeable, extremely curtious and very attentive. We are vegan and the restaurant was excellent, which we find, is exceptional when traveling.

    When I was online I had ordered two rooms but could only get one seaside view. When the manager saw that we were going to flip a coin on who got the seaside room he upgraded our friends room so we both had the same view and we would be near each...
