Good location, pleasant stay!

The walls were paper thin and could hear next door all night. The room was comfortable though and the breakfast was very tasty with good gluten free options. There was a nice walk by the hotel to a little beach. It is walkable into Arklow town too which was good. I was very surprised that the pool only opens at 9am on a Sunday, too late to get a swim in before breakfast.
