Property is a converted castle that needs a bit of attention. The grounds around the property are wonderful. Upon checkin the staff was friendly, however, there was only one at the desk with many people waiting. The lobby and pool areas were very pleasing. The rooms and hallway are institutional looking. It seems as little attention has been given in creating a comforting feeling. Our room had the very same feeling as the hallways. The beds were comfortable and clean but our carpet was stained and dirty. We infact were booked in for two nights but decided to checkout after one.

Great stay

It was a great stay! Nice restaurant in hotel. However, it’s an older hotel so the flushing of the toilet took a long time to fill between flushes and the ventilation wasn’t great as it was super warm and humid at night.

Spent 15 days in Ireland/Scotland this was one of our best stays. Kids loved the heated pool and it’s a nice way to unwind from a busy day in the city. Bus stop out front takes you into the city.
