Great views and service
The food for dinner and breakfast were great. Parking behind the hotel was easy. The area around the hotel is starting to improve with not a lot of dining options.
We had high tide and strong winds so the waves were crashing during the evening which was exciting. The room was spacious and the bathroom was good.

Great stay in a fantastic hotel!
I had a lovely stay at The Glengower. It is situated right by the beach and the views are stunning. The room was very clean and comfortable. Cooked breakfast was amazing, the rest was adequate but minimal. The staff were friendly, attentive and efficient. I had an evening meal which I couldn’t fault. Will definitely stay again.

Struttura fantastica, abbiamo soggiornato in una camera luminosissima con vista mare e dormito con il suono delle onde in sottofondo. Hotel pulito, personale efficiente e cordialissimo e ottimo anche il ristorante. Lo consiglio sicuramente.

Clean co
Lovely clean and comfortable hotel and room. Breakfast could be improved - as a vegan there was plant milk when asked but with a focus very much on a cooked breakfast, the continental breakfast options could have been improved - cereals were boxed and limited pastries. Plant based yogurt would also be a welcome addition.
