Views totally worth it

Gorgeous views. Beautiful hotel. Fabulous breakfast included with room in restaurant below. Only thing that might make this difficult for some people, there aren't elevators.

10/10 Exceptional

Food was excellent. Friendly staff and clean rooms. 24hr access was very helpful. Finding parking nearby on a busy weekend can be challenging
Joseph, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
Sarah, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We ended up The Glengower because of an error with our original booking. It ended up being a much better option: the staff was lovely, the bar and restaurant was great, and the rooms were nice and comfortable for what we needed. And right by the water and shops around the corner. We would definitely stay here again.

10/10 Exceptional

The Glengower is excellently situated, right on the promenade/beach. It offered a full hot breakfast and the pub itself offers a large and sophisticated menu. Everything we tried over the 3 days we were there was excellent. The parking may be a bit if a problem as the promenade road is very narrow but we found a good spot in the end. The room we had was comfortable tho a little tight.. the staff and service was excellent. We unfortunately did not have a sea view, but I will definitely suggest getting one as the view is excellent.
