21/10/2026: Went last night for dinner and the food was unreal. My salmon was perfectly cooked with a flavoursome wine sauce, my partner loved his fish tacos, my mum got the smoked haddock and said it was excellent too. i also had a goat's cheese salad that was very good. The waiter was very friendly while remaining professional. Probably my new favourite place for food now!

04/09/2026: Lovely friendly people & great coffee & cake!

26/06/2026: What an excellent stay we had at the Ardagh Hotel. The rooms were excellent, the food and service was fantastic. We had some complexity getting taxis home from Clifton and their receptionist came in without asking and picked us up. Really well run Hotel. Highly recommended!

06/06/2026: Loved our stay here so much we extended it. So relaxing from the moment we arrived. Staff are all excellent warm, attentive but always understated. You feel very well looked after but you are always given space. Everything is spotless, decor is beautiful...a lot of thought and care has gone into it. A relaxing inviting lounge area, a big turf fire, eclectic mix of artwork, and interesting ornaments. A beautiful dining area with views over the sea, and a delicious dinner menu made for the most romantic memorable meal. Our dog was welcomed and we were never made to feel it was an inconvenience. Similarly the place is not overrun by pets and wouldn't disturb others. Can't wait to to go back ...thank you to you all

05/09/2026: Nice spot and location. Good food aswell.

30/06/2026: We spent a long weekend in Murray's the staff could not do enough for us. The rooms are so spacious and recently refurbished. The food and music was great , I cannot wait to return next year.

10/06/2026: What a pleasant surprise this hotel was. Outstanding food (and I mean outstanding) beautifully stylish and comfortable bedroom (we had a sea view room). The helpfulness and friendliness , not to mention the competence, of all the staff was the best we have encountered in the last twelve months in three continents! Well done to all at the Doonmore hotel, to owners Andrew and Donna, what truly lovely genuine hosts you were. Wishing you all many more years of success.

07/11/2026: Food is amazing! Definitely would recommend and come back

05/11/2026: Best Chowder I had in Ireland. Fish & Chips were also fantastic. 🤩

07/11/2026: Nice place to visit worth it ticket

04/11/2026: A little disappointed by the abbey itself. The architecture is impressive, but the tour inside is rushed. I thought I'd be able to see more. The gardens are very beautiful. The restaurant is excellent. A pleasant experience, but not the best memory of my visits and my stay in Ireland, especially since there were almost only buses full of French tourists (in October). It's difficult to find yourself surrounded again by loudly speaking compatriots (and, for this visit in particular, not really respecting the place) after having experienced the natural hospitality, kindness, politeness, and respect of the Irish for a week.
