I’ve always loved The Grand and have been staying there for over 20 years. The updated rooms with Dyson hairdryer, Nespresso Coffee machine and large walk-in shower are a lovely addition. The rooms have all had a refreshing makeover. I intend to keep going for another 20 years +.

Rude front desk staff charged me an additional €40 for the room over what I had already paid. Room not as described on website, building work being carried out along the corridor, dust everywhere, constant noise & random fire alarms. Please refund asap.

We have stayed at The Grand on a number of occasions and always enjoyed the ambience - including the friendliness of the staff. However ... We generally book the same type of room - the 'superior' twin or double - but there was no doubt that the space in our room last week was significantly less that that of the room we were allocated in July - so we were slightly disappointed. The room did feel a little cramped - partly because of the extra bed - which we had no need of.

Two of the staff on reception were not at all welcoming infact quite dismissive. My main complaint was the lack of GF ( none) in the bar area and yet they had GF beer ? We ate in the main restaurant and the food was very good with GF options and the head waitress in the restaurant was excellent both at dinner and breakfast

Everything was great, it's a beautiful hotel in a very picturesque area. The only negative comment I have concerns some of the food in the restaurant. I had a fish dish, sea bream, which was a bit tasteless and had quite a few bones in it. Considering the prices It was disappointing and I didn't enjoy it very much. I would certainly stay there again but wouldn't eat the restaurant. However the bar food the evening before was excellent
