Relaxing Spa Retreat

During my visit, I indulged in a 90-minute treatment at the spa, which was simply fantastic. The products used were high-quality, and Justine's skilled hands made for an incredibly soothing experience. The herbal tea served at the end was a perfect touch to conclude this serene moment.

Charming Room Style

I loved the antique furniture in our junior suite. The character of the room was good, with a mix of modern comforts and classic elegance. It really felt like stepping back in time while enjoying contemporary convenience.

Nice Dining Experience

The dining room's ambiance was enchanting, particularly at dinner when the candles were lit. We had a nice meal with beautifully presented dishes, especially the black sole which was a highlight of our dining experience. The freshness of the local ingredients was genuinely impressive.

Enchanting Atmosphere

The hotel's unique historical character truly enhanced our stay. Each corner of the hotel tells a story, and the cozy seating areas throughout invited us to relax and soak in the atmosphere. It was a refreshing escape from modern, cookie-cutter hotels.

I absolutely loved my time at Seaview House Hotel! The ambiance was genuinely charming, deeply rooted in Irish character, and the staff went out of their way to ensure I was comfortable. Each meal I had was delicious and high quality, particularly the lamb at dinner which blew me away. However, the lack of a sea view from my room and a bit of low pressure in the shower were minor downsides. Overall, it’s a perfect retreat for anyone looking for a peaceful getaway in stunning surroundings.
