The Strand Inn

The view from the sea view room was amazing! The bar was nice & they had a nice menu! Would definitely stay again!

I booked this for my wife who needed to stay in Dunmore East for a course so my comments come from her feedback. The hotel was serviceable for her purpose and the staff were friendly and helpful but would have been a disappointment if we had booked it as a holiday destination as a couple. The room (room 1) was small, with very little room around the bed although the bed itself was comfortable. There were only bedside tables, no drawers and only a narrow shelf over the radiator to put anything on. The one chair was a large armchair that blocked access to the bathroom. The bathroom appeared to be recently renewed to a decent standard but there were no shelves and nowhere to put anything except the floor. Although billed as a signature double with a sea view, there was barely a view of the sea and the small balcony/terrace area was immediately adjacent to a public terrace. This meant there there was no privacy unless one closed the room curtains. My wife also said that the walls are very thin and she could hear the TV in the neighbouring room when she was in her bathroom and also hear noise from the public area downstairs. This is not an expensive hotel so expectations have to be realistic, however, a few small improvements would lift the experience.

Our room over looked the beach with a small balcony. Comfortable bed and the food was really good. Good service too

We arrived on a stormy, wet evening and our room was cosy and warm, the stormy sea splashing on our bedroom window, at high tide.

The location was great right on the beach
