Everything we needed for s short business stay, especially the Asian Fusion restaurant next door. With 3 of us it is a little cramped, but its only 2 days and we are exhibiting at the Laudholm Festival, so not in the room except to sleep.

Great to bring a dog but some owners left dog poop in the dog run. It may help if the grass was cut short otherwise a great spot and so dog friendly. Thanks!

In Reality Drakes Resort is for who is on holiday I was there for work so I would say if I was on holiday perfect but for who is working, Internet in the room didn't work, Air con very noisy but all is forgiven because the people running the resort are amazing and will try to resolve anything you need. Price quality maybe a little high.

Very cute, clean , quite and well maintained spot. And very dog friendly. Modest spot but all the amenities you’d need. I’d highly recommend and I would return if I visit the area again.

Just stayed 1 night with our dog. We were limited by our dog as to which room we could pick. The dog fee is very reasonable, stayed at other places in the area and they over charge for the pet fee. It did the trick for what we needed. Room was very clean, bed was comfortable. Small refrigerator and microwave. It’s an easy drive to anywhere in the area. I do recommend.
