This was a great surprise. After 7 pm on a Sunday night, this was the only place open still serving food. With a few beers, we both had Lamb on Herb Mash, it was the best I have ever had by a long way and my host agreed. To the next time.
I recently had dinner here and the food was absolutely gorgeous. The staff were friendly, welcoming and helpful. Highly recommend Mchughs and look forward to returning.
16/03/2025: On the fence between 3/4 stats but the service let me down. Beautiful sea view room with incredible view. Everything new and fresh. Reception was cold on check in and check out, not very welcoming. Had issues in the car park too, just all seemed a little rough around the edges with efficiency and training. Has the potential to be a premium 4-Star just needs a little more ‘hospitality’.
08/03/2025: Last night was absolutely unforgettable at Portmarnock Hotel! My group of friends and I decided to unwind at the Jameson Bar, and we couldn’t have had a better experience. Our waitress, Aoibheann, was simply brilliant attentive, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. She made excellent recommendations and ensured our glasses were never empty, all while adding a personal touch that made us feel like VIPs. The ambiance of the Jameson Bar perfectly complemented the top-notch service, making it a night full of laughter, great conversation, and lasting memories. Kudos to Aoibheann for going above and beyond, and to the entire Portmarnock team for creating such a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommended for anyone
