Fodor's Expert Review Talbot Hotel
Belmullet, Co. Mayo, Ireland
The quirky, modern-boutique-hotel hallmarks and Baroque color scheme are a little at odds with the town's otherwise plain offerings, but the focus on idiosyncratic style here does not in any way divert attention from comfort. High-pressure showers, large bathrooms, varnished floorboards, and clean linen ensure a comfortable stay right in the town center. As a nod to its location on the Wild Atlantic Way, there's a drying room for those who embrace the great outdoors and need a place to hang their raincoats, galoshes, or fishing rods. The hotel also has the best food on the peninsula, with cooked-to-order breakfast and hearty, home-baked apple pie later in the evening.
PROS
- town-center location
- reliable pub food every night
- large suites with spacious bathrooms
CONS
- street parking
- main restaurant closed Monday to Thursday
- modern decor may not suit those seeking more traditional Irish country style
