Reviews and Ratings
The hotel was lovely and spacious, making it a cosy place to relax, but the breakfast room felt a bit claustrophobic with no windows. The service was excellent overall, with friendly and welcoming staff. The location was fantastic, offering tranquility in abundance, and the dining experience was first class. The hotel features were tastefully done, and the rooms were a little on the warm side.
The hotel offers reasonably well-equipped and very comfortable rooms that are to a high standard with a seal to show they have been sanitized. The service is very friendly, making the hotel perfect for a relaxing break. The location is lovely, though some staff training may improve the overall experience. The dining experience is great, with no wait and well-presented dishes. The facilities are well-maintained, contributing to an excellent stay.
The hotel rooms were incredibly clean and spacious with a lovely view of the golf course, though the noise from the heating system was a bit disruptive. The service was friendly and helpful, with a nice touch of complimentary water on check out. The central location was convenient for guests coming from different parts of the country, but being outside in Irish weather was a gamble. The dining experience offered a well-stocked buffet, but make sure to order the freshly cooked breakfast for the best experience.
