We checked in at 7:45 only to learn the swimming pool closed at 8. Then we made it to our room booked for three people to find everything set up for two. We tried to call down but the phone was broken. We were so tired and laid on the beds to then realize the wedding going on below was right under our room and the swinging door banged directly under our beds reverberating up. Oh yay. We went downstairs to see what could be done and they tried to keep it propped open but it never lasted long. Then the band started up. The evening staff were mortified and apologized but asked us to deal with the day manager. We did this in the morning but she was unperturbed and would only offer us free drinks before leaving - at 10am in the morning. In fairness, the breakfast was excellent.

We traveled with our elderly mother & had requested a room on ground floor with easy access to reception or close to lifts. Our requests were made via Expedia app & email direct to hotel. This was not responded to & we were placed in a room very far from the reception, this made our special trip disappointing as our mother felt uncomfortable with the walk. We were given something to eat as a compensation but we really had to fight for this as we were all so upset our mothers wish to stay in the hotel we used to visit growing up had a taint to it. There is a lot of different in the welcome we got years gone by, the “Irish hospitality & welcome” is non existent. Food ok, cleanliness good, service bad.
