A full Irish breakfast is included for every guest, served daily in our Prom Restaurant. Our breakfast menu caters for all tastes and ages, with a mix of hot and cold options, fresh fruit, cereals, pastries, and cooked dishes prepared with locally sourced ingredients. Children’s portions and menu options are available.
Family Dining at the Hotel
Families can enjoy lunch and dinner at Blackrock Bar, where our casual menu includes child-friendly options alongside contemporary Irish dishes. The relaxed atmosphere makes it easy to enjoy a meal out without having to leave the hotel — ideal after a busy day of sightseeing.
Midterm and Summer Breaks
Family rooms are especially popular during school midterm breaks and the summer holidays.
