Downings Bay Hotel

We loved our stay here, hotel is great, in the perfect location walking distance to the beach. The bar/restaurant is great for dinner and the staff are all very friendly and helpful. The only disappointing thing for us is that we chose this hotel mainly because of the swimming pool (for the kids). It was only when we checked in that we realised the pool is actually located offsite at a local leisure centre in a caravan park - 1 mile drive from the hotel. The pool is also only available at certain times of the day, around the pool’s other uses. This is the only downfall and we felt it was very misleading when booking this hotel. However. Soft play is also available at the local leisure centre which the kids loved.

Very short drive to three world class golf courses. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Food was very good. Room very comfortable.

Clean rooms and helpful staff

Beautiful hotel and great bar. Next to the water. Nice Irish breakfast.

Perfect location, everything within walking distance. No pool onsite but we knew this upon booking. Good breakfast clean rooms, quiet despite facing the 'disco' area. Upper rooms very warm without air con but overall excellent.
