オールド・フォート・ロッジ(Old Fort Lodge)

The owners disappeared behind closed doors the entire time-not breakfast. We wanted to turn the register on for some heat, but didn’t know how to reach them. We emailed but didn’t get a response. In hindsight we should have looked for a phone number.

We had a lovely stay at the Old Fort Lodge! The hosts were friendly and welcoming and our room was very comfortable. The highlight was the lovely cooked breakfast in the morning to get us started on our day!

Peter was a gentleman and so nice and beautiful room and beautiful breakfast so quiet.

Great place just out of the town centre

Great hosts the breakfast was nice - Irish cooked breakfast with a fruit bowl, cereals, yoghurts and coffee/tea. Located in a safe area within walking distance to the town centre - about 30min walk into the centre of town. Good and safe parking some space off street. Kettle in room with selection of tea / instant coffee, UHT milk and a small bottle of water. Bed was not comfortable, pillows were thin, curtains were light with the sun shining through from early morning. Bad smell in the room on the first night but aired out with window open. Internally it's dated, you can notice the standard use wear and tear, from creaking door handles, warped wooden toilet seats and the old hot tub bath to the worn chrome plating on the shared bathroom taps.

Old Fort B&B is a fine option for a visitor who doesn't mind staying outside the town centre. The walk from the train station is pleasant, and the neighborhood is charming. Clean, comfortable accommodations, with a full Irish breakfast.

Very dated and tired condition everything was basic no heating house was cold and shared bathroom . Looks like it was furnished out of a charity shop. Breakfast was good. Would not be a candidate for 4 in a bed.

This was a great find, the B&B is in a residential area about a 20 minute walk from the train station and is on a bus route to Rosses Point and Strandhill. If you are driving there is ample parking space. The cooked breakfast was great, the usual plus a choice of fruit, cereals and yoghurts. Peter and Mary were great hosts, the accomodation was clean, had free good wi-fi.

Owners were perfect blend of yin and yang. Mary is a sociable, engaging and caring hostess, whilst Peter exudes an unflappable but equally compassionate calm. Both professional without resorting to a robotic script. Their wonderful manner (and the robust breakfast) got me through a difficult weekend and enabled me to have the end of life discussion my mum needed. I would heartily recommend for those who can share a bathroom without hysterics, and who understand that tasteful, established furnishings are more in keeping with the sustainable planet we all claim to love than this year’s bling. I will be back.
