The room was bright and airy, very comfortable bed and well-appointed bathroom and with a panoramic view of the car park. A pity but no biggie either. Dinner in the restaurant was pretty good too and the breakfast the following morning plentiful and really excellent. However, I have to say there is a distinct hi-de-hi quality to Kelly's which seems to be their USP. The clientele on the midweek night we were there was a mixture of retired couples and families with very young children. Afternoon tea was complimentary but we arrived to discover an entertainments manager starting a table quiz for the eager denizens giving the place a distinct air of a retirement community rather than a hotel. Returning to the same bar after dinner, a musical duet were eviscerating an old Kenny Ball standard, curiously using a guitar to imitate a saxophone. On reflection, we opted for an early night. I realise this is exactly why people return to Kelly's again and again but, frankly, it was not our cup of Darjeeling. Unlikely to return but if organised events in a resort hotel are your thing, who am I to argue?

By the beach. Amazing food. Lovely staff. Great rooms. Kelly's in Rosslare has been one of the…read moremost popular hotels in Ireland for a long time for all of these reasons. It's a great family hotel with a kids club and plenty of entertainment to keep them busy. But there's lots for grown-ups too. They have a fabulous new spa which has every treatment you could imagine. Did I mention it's by the beach?! I love being by the sea. It's also a treat to sit out in the hot tub and watch the waves crash on the beach below. The best part though is the food. Be warned, it might be too much for some people. There's breakfast, then there's a gorgeous buffet lunch (or you can have lunch in the dining room), there's afternoon tea and then of course there's dinner. The food is fabulous, local and great Irish dishes. There's also La Marine bar and restaurant if you want something a little less formal. Kelly's has all of the attributes of an old fashioned hotel experience in a beautifully modern, cosy hotel.

Our travel planner suggested that while visiting the Waterford area, we stay in Wexford. It was a…read morewonderful little community and we enjoyed being based there for a couple of days. The hotel was nice. It is very basic but certainly covers all of your needs. The bar inside the hotel serves meals and they were very good. Great quality food at a decent price. The restaurant that serves breakfast inside the hotel also serves dinner but requires reservations so we did not have a chance to eat there. We did however have breakfast there each morning and it was good quality and variety. The pool and fitness equipment are located with in a spa that is on the property. Come prepared with a swim cap because you will not be allowed to swim without one. You can purchase one at the front desk. Beautifully clean pool and nice facility.

The staff are friendly and attentive, and if you are a local you are bound to meet someone in here you know.

Each time I have eaten here I have found the food to be filing and tasty with food orders arriving in good time. They also have a restaurant - Oyster Lane restaurant which provides a luxurious dining experience. The hotel overlooks the marina and they have their own car park at the rear which is free of charge as long as you are a paying customer :-) So if you are looking for quality fresh food then look no further!
