The Avoca is located along the sea front and the foot of the Mourners mountains. The staff were very welcoming, friendly and attentive throughout our stay which was to celebrate my wife's birthday. The staff kindly presented her with a bottle of prosecco and birthday card - much appreciated. The room and bathroom were very clean and well supplied. The bed and bedding very comfortable. Breakfast was very good and the kitchen was willing and able to prepare items that were not on the menu. The bar selection was fine with some tasty whiskies. We are an "elderly" 7couple and the layout of the hotel was challenging - no lift, climbing stairs, some of which had no handrail - which we brought to the attention of management. Also some areas were poorly lit. Given the unusual layout of the hotel, staff were helpful and supportive with baggage etc and this was appreciated by us. Overall, a warm friendly and well-located hotel which proved to be good value for money.

Room cleaned every day, helpful and pleasant staff and good bar.I was disappointed my Room was at the back of the Hotel, in the past when I have stayed i have got a Room with a veiw of the promenade and sea. I assumed when booking, because of the price, I was getting a room over looking the promenade.

The hotel is beautifully decorated, Customer service was excellent. Staff were so welcoming and friendly. Breakfast was cooked to perfection. Would highly recommend this hotel.

Staff member apon check in was great and even showed us to our room. Unfortunately the room let us down, it was a very hot day and the rooms have no air conditioning. Phoned reception to ask for a fan to be rudely told THEY WERE ALL OUT! We stayed in the family room, was a nice size and clean, could do with a mini fridge and air conditioning. The WiFi in the hotel did not work at all no matter where we where in the hotel.

The hotel was a real contrast in experiences. When we checked in the woman could not have been more helpful and with the unusual heat, the room was very stuffy, and they provided us with a fan quickly. There was one bartender who was extremely rude and dismissive. In the evening went down for a drink, and the staff was extremely rude, and while we were sitting having a drink, one of the staff turned over tables in front of us to let us know that we should leave and go back to our room. Extremely rude. Other than that, we had a wonderful stay.

Room was quirky but very comfortable,Bar was very quiet,prices a tad higher than expected,£18:60 for two Jameson’s and Ginger.Food last night was a pizza,chips and salad,breakfast very tasty and filling.

Lovely hotel and friendly staff!

Stayed here for our 30th wedding anniversary, the staff were very helpful, the food excellent and the sea view was the icing on the cake, will definitely book again.

To start with positives, the Staff were excellent, helpful & friendly. I have a walking stick and on checking in the Lady at reception insisted in carrying our bag to the room. Everywhere was very clean. We ate in the hotel both nights. The food was excellent, as was breakfast. However the room was very disappointing. Very small & cramped and the lighting very poor. I could barely see to shave in the en-suite. Despite the good breakfast (evening meals not included obviously) the price charged was too high considering the room. Some of the stairs leading to the rooms had no handrail, potential for a fall and again corridors had very poor lighting. None of this would be fault of the Staff. Despite the excellent quality of food & staff based on room, we would not stay there again.

I got a fry and the egg wasnt cooked properly it made me feel sick

View was stunning breakfast was good

Staff friendly. Lovely sea view room. Food very nice

We love staying in the Avoca Hotel. Staff really go above and beyond to make sure you have everything you need. The rooms are clean and fresh towels are put into your room every morning. If staying over the winter months rest assured you will never feel cold as each room has its own thermostat controlled radiator. An absolute pleasure to stay at this hotel.
