We did not have breakfast there. Our deluxe ocean front room was more of a beach view & the room, though clean, with very comfortable beds, was not as pretty as those advertised. The staff, as with all the staff we encountered in Ireland, were very friendly. ##### Trudy Stayed 1 night in Jun 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Alex 17 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Had previous experience of the property and was impressed,looking forward to another similar stay. Unfortunately left with a big disappointment.The breakfast was terrible in every aspect ( full Irish breakfast) :- Ordered toast ,collected Irish breakfast which I found was already cold,twenty minutes and the toast still hadn't arrived.Staff didn't seem to know what was happening,I asked one staff member band it was obvious the toast hadn't been ordered .left breakfast area after approximately one hour just a terrible experience of disorganised staff, unacceptable meal and unacceptable Length if time for a simple breakfast.I spoke with the receptionist stating our complaint but received no communication. ##### Alex Stayed 1 night in Jun 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Rachel 21 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Really enjoyed our stay at the Sir Walter Raleigh Hotel. It’s a gorgeous setting and our room looked right out over the water, such a view! Staff were lovely and breakfast was spot on. The room was on the smaller side, and the window could do with replacing as the bottom panel spoiled the view a little, plus we noticed some traffic noise in the mornings. But honestly, those are tiny things compared to how much we loved it here. Would definitely stay again. ##### Rachel Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### John 13 Sept 2025 Our stay was very relaxing and couldn’t ask for better👌 ##### John Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Donal 11 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very friendly staff. Excellent restaurant and menu. Clean rooms. Great car parking. ##### Donal Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Richard 5 Sept 2025 Disliked: Staff & service It was a disappointment from waiting over ten minutes without acknowledgment to check in through being made to feel like we were an inconvenience by turning up. It could be a great hotel if they took pride in training their staff and to removing debris around the hotel ##### Richard Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Elisabeth 24 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The view to the sea was very good. ##### Elisabeth Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### maureen 4 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Beautiful location and staff were brilliant. The restaurant food was very nice and not overly expensive. The hotel itself is somewhat tired and would benefit from a refurb. But I would stay here again yes ##### maureen Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bernie 16 Jul 2025 We were made so welcome and there is a beautiful atmosphere in this hotel. Definitely going back for more ##### Bernie Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Brett 8 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Requested air conditioning but property still came up.
