“Good room, good location, great breakfast”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 September 2011

Stayed here for 3 nights for my brothers wedding. The rooms were very comfortable, clean and a good size. The owners were very accommodating and welcoming, and the breakfast was truly excellent. Took advantage of the lounge (which has a pool table) to watch the rugby on the big screen rather then watching it in the room and waking the wife.
Although the decor is dated the service and great location close to excellent pubs and restaurants.
Value for money and will stay again if in the area.

Room Tip: Room 15 is the best room.

“A wonderful stay we loved it”

person found this review helpful

We stayed here this summer and had a great experience. Liam, Sylvia, their family and staff were all lovely, extremely helpful and very accomodating and it was much appreciated. Great views from the rooms which were clean, beautifully furnished and faultless. Breakfast was delicious and enormous. Lovely fresh fruit available including my favs strawberries and blueberries. Liam was always cheerful, friendly and full of great tips and info for travelling around the area.
Thank you all so much. Hope to be back ASAP.

Room Tip: Go for the rooms with the great views although the seagulls are probably louder - it's worth it.

“Good value”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 September 2011

This hotel is actually much better than it looks initially. Not too keen on the decor and furnishings etc, but very clean and comfortable. Good breakfast.

“Best hotel we have ever stayed in, exceptional hospitality, book today !!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 August 2011

My family & I stayed for 2 weeks at The Crescent House Hotel, Also my brother & sisters family, so in total 6 adults & 3 young children. We all had a fab holiday. The hotel is family run by the very wonderful Liam & Sylvia McGonigle. They can not do enough for you, they go above & beyond what you would normally expect. The location of the hotel is very central to everything. We stayed at the top of the hotel in a family room with the most wonderful ever changing sea view. The rooms are of a very high standard, beautiful furniture & luxurious bedding, brand new carpets & a wonderfully big bathroom with separate bath/shower & they are cleaned every day !! The breakfasts are amazing & having 3 small children with us all with different likes/dislikes their was something for everyone from delicious fresh fruit/pastries/cereals/yogurts to a full English buffet. Liam would come over every morning & ask us how we were & have the best advice on where to eat, what to visit & just general chit-chat. Some people on here have said the parking is an issue but as I said we stayed for 2 weeks & most nights we could get parked outside the front of the hotel or in the hotel car park. I really can not say enough nice things about this hotel & the proprietors we are already thinking about our next visit !!

Thank you so much for everything.
From Sarah, Ben & Finley (Joke of the day) Tavendale.
Hopefully be back soon xxx
