Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about The Curraghmore from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests consistently praise the wonderful location, finding it a short distance from the train and bus stations and even closer to the beach. The spacious Standard Single rooms with sea views and ample storage are a highlight for many, as is the offstreet parking. Some guests have noted that the hotel could benefit from some refurbishment; however, the breakfast stands out, with a wide range of choices and options tailored to individual preferences, sometimes even offered early with a takeaway pack for those catching an early ferry.
