I always pop in when ever possible for food with my family and it is always an amazing experience. The food is perfect, the portion sizes are brilliant and the reception you receive the second you walk in the door is so warming! 100% would recommend.

If looking for a spot for lunch in youghal with a baby this is not the place. No baby changing facilities and not very baby friendly. Really disappointing.

We were passing through Youghal on Sunday morning, and this was one of the few places open for brunch. It's a lovely atmospheric place with a great selection of cakes and savoury snacks. Coffee was top class also. Bonus, they had both soya and almond milk available.

My family and I dropped in for a lovely evening tea and really enjoyed the pleasant environment and good service.Very handy after a walk along the promenade. My only disappointment was when I enquired at the desk about any special offers to stay at the hotel, the person at the reception was not helpful and somewhat dismissive

We had a nice evening here. The service was good and the food was excellent, particularly the feather blade beef. Beautifully tender meat and good flavours from the root veg and mash. After a walk through the town assessing the restaurant options I think we found the best food at the best value for money. One slight sour note was the espresso. Seemed to be some sort of Nescafé concoction. Otherwise a thumbs up:-)

Came here for lunch expecting luxury and good food. At first glance the hotel is beautiful, perched on the side of a cliff with breathtaking views. The staff are very friendly and attentive. We sat in a window seat overlooking the sea and ordered our food. From here it went downhill, if this food is all that is needed to get a Michelin star I'm surprised that my local chipper doesn't have one. I had the steak sandwich, there was so little steak in it I pushed it all on to half the bread and had half a steak sandwich, the chips where from frozen and so greasy I didn't eat them. My wife had the chicken wrap which she reckons mc Donald's do a nicer one. We both had the strawberry desert which was delicious. The floor was dirty, or should I say it needed a hoovering. In short, lovely hotel, staff, view and dessert but if you want decent food try elsewhere

We visited Whitehorses recently to celebrate quietly our Golden Wedding anniversary. My husband was recovering from radiation treatment for cancer and our only daughter was away abroad on holiday so we opted for something pleasant and "low-key" on the day. We love Ardmore and have spent many happy times on the beach at Whiting Bay. Our table was booked at the restaurant. The restaurant was busy and we were served quickly. Sadly one of the more senior staff there, possibly an owner seemed unfriendly and with a positive dislike for the general paying public. The food was fine, very hot but we thought that it had possibly been pre-cooked and then micro-waved prior to serving.We felt that the whole experience, while pleasant enough, lacked the finesse and good customer service that one would expect and like to see at such a place. The cutlery that we were given was dumped on the table and it was not matching in size or really adequate for the dishes we had chosen. When l asked for advice on choice between two dish l was told sharply, well, just have what you want.One wonders if the management read and act upon these reviews or just say, oh well they were unhappy but, so what ? The paying customers just keep coming. Will we go back? Probably not.

We thoroughly enjoyed our one night stay at The Cliff House Hotel. Every touch point was perfect. The booking process over the phone was friendly, informative and efficient. The check in process explained well the facilities, the team were friendly and professional. Ours gentleman at the front door helped bring our bags in from the car, they were brought to our room quickly, we were made to feel very welcome and taken care of. We enjoyed lunch and dinner in the bar. The food was great, dinner in particular was memorable. The service was excellent, we had the steak and the cod, the lemon mash was very special, the good was delicious. Breakfast again was very special and such a beautiful service.The Well Spa was a peaceful haven in which we spent a few hours relaxing and enjoying the facilities and amazing views. The facilities are excellently maintained, the design aspects give the space a real 5 star feel. The cliff side walk is stunning and a great amenity. The bedroom was the highlight for us, with amazing sea views, huge bathroom, with double shower and bath. The bed was so comfortable and the turn down service with lavender on the pillow and lamps on, jazz music playing was so special. We were blown away by everything, and couldn't imagine how the experience could possibility be improved. Well done to all the team, and thank you for a very special and memorable stay.
