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.

Delightful reception staff in this iconic hotel which oozes history of celebrations from past eras. A lovely regal presence as soon as you enter with vibrant red sitting room around a fireplace. Our room was large with tasteful velvet drapes showcasing a delightful water view. Such a lovely stay - Thank you Arnolds

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.
