Dunfanaghy Break

From check-in to check-out we were looked after very well by friendly and efficient staff. We were given a free upgrade to a sea view room. The room was large, clean, warm and very comfortable. The bathroom was also spotlessly clean and warm with toiletries provided. We had a lovely meal in the restaurant that night. There was a well varied menu and service was good. There was also a large selection on the breakfast menu - I would definitely recommed the eggs royale. We hope to be back at Arnolds in the not too distant future.

Lovely location in Dunfanaghy. Easy check-in. Friendly helpful staff and good breakfast. Room was ok, but bathroom a bit tight and towels really need upgrading - perhaps I expected more for the price.
