Breakfast was the best in Ireland and I am Gluten free. Absolutely delicious. Breakfast bacon was perfect not overdone. Mushrooms were so good. Views are stunning and staff are consistently so friendly and welcoming. My favourite place in our Irish Stay !

We only stayed here one night. Not great, - the bathroom had some sort of leak as our carpet was soaking wet. No one on reception except a security guard who did try and help. However, the hotel was full and they could not swap our room so we had to just tough it out until morning when we checked out.

We stayed at this hotel as we were attending a family event there, which was excellent and perfect for the occasion. However as guests we left disappointed. The hotel itself felt dated with breakfast limited and understaffed. For a 4-star hotel we were expecting something more.

Friendly staff in all areas. Spa - odd shaped pool was difficult to swim in without bumping into other swimmers. Golf course great fun and in good order. Bar dining and breakfast - friendly service and good food. Three identical rooms booked through Expedia but one room much smaller than advertised. One couple unable to travel and no refund even partial was offered. (Genuine reason - Margaret had spinal decompression surgery two days ago for acute disc lesion!)

Not bad, but not great

My stay was okay. The hotel itself is fine and the room was clean, but it is certainly showing signs of wear. They really need to work on accessibility. For example, there's no reason not to have a front door that opens automatically or with a push of the button in order to make it easier for people with wheelchairs, strollers, or even just those trying to manage their luggage. Similarly, it is very annoying that the small lift that takes you to the rooms is out of order and, despite the fact that I was pushing a baby in a stroller and had a wheeled suitcase, no one alerted me to this fact or offered to help.
