Shearwater Hotel & Spa

We stayed here for one night with friends and overall had a very enjoyable stay. The hotel itself is lovely, the rooms were comfortable, and the staff were friendly and welcoming throughout. The facilities were also excellent. Unfortunately, our experience at dinner let things down slightly. One of the meals (a double smash burger) was completely inedible and was returned, yet it still appeared on the final bill and was charged in full. This was raised at the time and should have been removed. We were also told during a conversation about tipping that staff do not receive tips and that there is no point in leaving one. If this is the case, it’s quite disappointing and not something guests would expect. Overall, a nice hotel and an enjoyable stay, but these issues did take away from what would otherwise have been a great experience.

Lovely breakfast in a really nice fining room. Had a drink in the bar which had a lovely atmosphere with friendly staff

Chambre propre et de taille correcte, située au bout d’un très long couloir. Parking souterrain gratuit appréciable. Le buffet du petit-déjeuner est particulièrement bien fourni, avec des options sans gluten, pour un prix raisonnable (12,50 €) au vu du choix proposé. Le service est aimable et efficace, sans être particulièrement chaleureux. L’enregistrement a été rapide. En revanche, nous avons essayé de joindre l’hôtel à plusieurs reprises dans l’après-midi, sans succès. Petit bémol : impossible de dîner au restaurant après 20h45, et le choix de restaurants dans les environs est plutôt limité. En résumé, un hôtel fonctionnel et pratique pour une étape entre l’aéroport et le Connemara.

Beautiful and comfortable room - amazing bar area.

Nice large rooms with good restaurant. Breakfast was OK but a bit expensive at 12.50 euros
