Ideally placed for the ferry to Ireland and although the restaurant was not open on the night we were there we managed a meal of sorts elsewhere. Breakfast was very good and you could do much worse.

Dont give up when you cant find anyone at the hotel even after the 3 PM check-in time shown. Eventually you will find someone (or call the phone number). Room was very small but overall tastefully done. TV projects and is a head-banger. Food in the restaurant very good. Waitress was very good.

We ended up at the Ferryboat Inn by accident: After we'd missed our 2:30pm ferry and realized we'd have to spend the night, several people recommended the Ferryboat Inn. Turned out they'd just had a cancellation for a "one-bedroom with extra bed," so we grabbed it. The man who checked us in was very friendly, and warned us that it wouldn't be a huge room -- it wasn't, but what it lacked in space it made up for in comfort! It had the most comfortable beds of our whole trip, and the best shower -- hot, and full water pressure. After resting for a bit, we headed downstairs to the restaurant for dinner -- YUM! It was one of the best meals of our entire trip: sea bass over a delicious bean salsa, with new potatoes, and an amazing chocolate tart with berries and cream for dessert. The staff was very attentive and genuinely friendly, and the whole place had a great atmosphere of relaxed welcome. We struck up a conversation with a couple at the next table over and ended up talking for at least an hour -- a perfect end to a lovely evening. Breakfast was excellent the next morning, and then it was a short, 10 minute walk down to the ferry dock to catch the ferry. Thank goodness we missed it the day before, or we wouldn't have had such a great experience at the Ferryboat Inn.

I stayed at the Ferryboat Inn prior to a trip to Ireland which entailed a late arrival (01:30). The hotel is clearly used to this, given the times of the Rosslare ferry, and text or email you a password for late arrivals. Just a word of warning about arriving late by foot - there are no streetlights, but the entry key pad is lit. The rooms are very modern and well fitted out. I had a single room with power shower and complimentary toiletries. The breakfast was self-service for toast, cereals and fresh fruit salad (definitely not out of a tin!) and cooked breakfast was cooked to order. All in all a gem whether you're travelling to Ireland or just exploring the local area.
