As a young couple we stayed at the Clonea Strand hotel midweek at the end of July on a 3 night B&B package. We found the price to be very reasonable especially with such a fantastic location right on the Clonea Strand Blue Flag Beach which has to be seen to be appreciated. The reception area of the hotel oozes... More

This review is a total and absolute fabrication, as the only "guy" and being one of the principles of the Company I have never sat at the Front Desk with my feet up. The Hotel does not use frozen vegetables. The sudo name, bad grammar, mis-spelling and the fact that "Foxeyladey" states she stayed here almost 11 month ago but... More

Clonea is a nice enough hotel, a bit dated looking though. It has nice big comfy rooms, also rather dated. Despite this, the thing that really makes the hotel is its great position, practically sitting on Clonea's Blue flag beach, which makes it a perfect sea side (or surfing) spot. Little Tip: Wi-fi is supposedly available in all public places.... More

This old hotel definitely needs a revamp but the view of the sea makes up for this - staff friendly & calling a taxi was no problem - breakfast room needs new bulbs - maintenance issues and the coffee was the worst I have ever tasted - lots of kids around but it is a leisure location ideal for families...

called to Dungarvan yesterday to take elderly relation for lunch. This hotel was suggested so we headed out. Found entrance to car park and saw signs indicating pay parking, or else run the risk of being clamped. Children wanted a run on the beach and adults wanted food. As in all cases like this, children win. However, I would not... More

Good Evening It is such a pity that you did not enter past the door and you would then have realised that the Car Parking Charge is totally refunded to Guests using the Hotel Facilities, this is also posted on the signage in the Car Park. The reasoning behind charging is such that paying guests will have a space to... More

Well we stayed here based on a quick scan of the internet whilst already being on route to Dungarvan in Southern Ireland. We decided to stay based on the location, close to the large towns of Waterford and Cork, but a relaxed location on the beach.

I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed my brief stay at this hotel. Its location beside a beautiful beach provides an opportunity to enjoy relaxing walks. Its bar prices were better value than most and I consider its room charge to provide great value for money.
