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.

We stayed for one night and it happened to be the last night of the season. We were met with a friendly receptionist. We had dinner in the bar and it was one of the nicest meals I’ve had in Ireland in the last 2 years! Great service, varied menu, lots of vegetarian options, absolutely delicious food. The room was spacious and a lovely comfortable bed. Breakfast was a buffet style served to you. Again this was delicious. I would highly recommend this hotel. I didn’t use any of the leisure facilities to comment.

The hotel is not fancy, but very comfortable and clean and super well positioned just next to the beach. Our biggest surprise was their amazing (and really cheap) dinner, which we enjoyed a lot!

Mary • Family Trip

Excellent price for family room inclusive of breakfast. Dinner in the bar was 3 courses and a glass of wine for 17.50 euro. Food was lovely and was a nice atmosphere. We used the swimming pool and the soft play area that was free to guests which was a 2 minute drive from the hotel. That was the only negative as we didnt bring extra towels for the next day and also the pool didnt open until 12 noon. Right beside the beach and a short stroll to a lovely traditional pub. I would go back again

One night stay in Downings Bay Hotel. Unfortunately the weather wasn't great (Storm Ciara) but the hotel was lovely and warm, we watched rugby in the bar in the afternoon (drinks reasonably priced) and then had a lovely meal in the restaurant. Bar menu also available. Rooms very clean, have hairdryer, kettle, tea facilities etc, and bathroom with shower over bath. Would return to this hotel if I was in the area again. Good price (we paid 67 sterling for one night B&B). Cooked breakfast was excellent, with juice, toast, croissants, tea and coffee.
