Brandon House Hotel

8/10 Good

"Spa was lovely and great food"

Waterford Marina Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The location was an easy walk to Viking Triangle"

The Saratoga Bar & Rooms

10/10 Excellent

"Cute place to stay above a lovely pub and on the water. Good value for money. Pros: dog friendly, beach access, beverage tray with sparkling water and tea/instant coffee and a kettle (always nice). Little things that could be improved: there was no full size bath towel, just a hand towel and shower mat, window had been left ajar for fresh air (which is great) but meant that by the time I arrived, there were a ton of knats/midges/little bugs inside and outside the window."
