Our Wedding Day

Reviewed By Niamhmcv

We recently just got married on 6th of May 2022 and had our reception with the Redcastle Oceanfront, Golf & Spa Hotel. Our day was perfect from start to finish, honestly our guests did not stop talking about how amazing it was and how lovely everything was. The whole booking process was really easy and stress free, the staff were so so helpful and made the planning side of things very enjoyable. Nothing was too much for them.There were also a few extra touches which was a surprise to us on the day (I won't ruin it for anyone) but honestly they were just amazing and made our day even more special. The food was honestly amazing, and the service was top class, there was nobody sitting around waiting ages for food or other guests finished before other tables, everyone was served so quickly and I couldn't explain just how excellent the service truly was. If anyone is thinking of booking there wedding with this hotel, don't even think twice about it as they really are top class. We can't wait to go back for a stay.

Fantastic Weekend

Reviewed By STEVE B

Stayed with my wife and had a great weekend. Room was great and very clean. All the staff were very friendly and made our break really enjoyable. The breakfast was one of the best we ever had and we have stayed in numerous hotels in Ireland and throughout the world. My wife sang hotel praises to her work colleagues and they are so impressed will book themselves. Overall, a very friendly family hotel second to none. As Arnold Schwarzenegger says 'I'll be back' lol.

Whitestrand B&B

A Piece of Heaven on Earth

Reviewed By jlaiken65

We will be back! Truly, our visit booked since April 2019 but delayed due to the pandemic, was a piece of Heaven on Earth. Our hostess, Mary, is a beautifully kind spirit going the extra mile for her guests at Whitestrand B&B. From the fabulous breakfasts each morning to the immaculate rooms and the amazing Irish countryside draped in emerald green framed by the blue of the Atlantic, we could not have asked for more. Sheep and cows lazily grazing within feet of bedroom windows and paths made for the quintessential Irish experience. In walking distance to the local eatery, pub and store, our group of five adults from age 20 to 56 always felt safe and welcome by all the lovely residents! Thank you, Mary Houghton for making us fall in love with Whitestrand B&B and Malin Head, Ireland. We will be back!

Very disappointed

Reviewed By OPH2008

Extremely disappointed in our meal tonight. Nacho’s to start lacked meat was basically a bowl of crisps. Chicken goujons very small (4) over cooked burnt and chicken was dried up,the garlic potatoes were swimming in grease and over done. The chips with the cod were rubbery and basically the tail end of potatoes. The only positive thing was the cod. To pay €16.00 for 4 dried up burnt goujons was an absolute disgrace. Whoever cooked these knew they weren’t good as the very burnt one was hidden under the other three A waste of €50.00 won’t be back

Beautiful hotel, stunning wedding. Really lovely, hard working staff. I recommend they all get a pay rise, especially Brendan and Ciara . If you do one persons job well, you should be paid well. These guys were doing the work or 3 or 4 so I hope they are getting a pay rise!!! Thank you! It's the staff that make the experience we really appreciate it! X

Don and his wife were amazing hosts! The location is so perfect and lovely. The scenery you get from here is worth a million dollars. Everything was really clean and had everything we needed. The shower was amazing! They have a selection of cereals and coffee in the morning. Super friendly service and will be recommending to everyone we know.
