Our stay was truly wonderful overall, with stunning views of Inchydoney beach that really made our experience memorable. The staff welcomed us warmly and were exceptionally accommodating throughout our visit. However, we did find that the dining experience fell a bit flat on a couple of occasions, especially during lunch. While the hotel boasts a desirable location and relaxing facilities, there's certainly room for improvement regarding the dining options offered.
