Poor for business traveller, tired and poor value

The bed was old and rock hard and lumpy. The pillows were like bags of cement. The TV didn’t work. Service was minimal at dinner, the order incomplete and no attention from staff which limited service. Breakfast was even more of a joke . I actually mentioned my concerns after being asked about my stay on check out and despite being promised that the manager would contact, I have still not heard any response.

Stay in a Castle

Lovely stay at this hotel. Grounds are beautiful, lots of places to stroll or take photos of castle. Had some issues with toilet and chairs in room were older and too low to sit in. Room was warm but able to open windows and that helped. Canopied bed was very comfortable, heavy comforter which would be wonderful on a cold day. Fine dining restaurant was closed so we ate in the Garden Bar. Very noisy but food and service good. Breakfast in castle very nice with good selection on buffet and a number of hot choices as well.

This castle hotel FAR exceeded our expectations! The rooms were massive; the water pressure so strong; the food delicious; the grounds impeccable; the decor exquisite; and saving the best for last, the staff were amazing and went above and beyond. They had to be the friendliest, kindest, most helpful humans in all of Ireland! I HIGHLY recommend this stay!
