Spa was nice, but desperately needed a good clean. Room was ok, large but blinds didn’t fit the window and no curtains. Rooms was close to fire doors which were extremely noise. Food in the evening was excellent. Breakfast a buffet was really poor. Food at 8.30 in the morning. Massively overcooked and not replaced.

The hotel is very nice, the breakfast is quite good and the rooms are comfortable. It’s a good place to stop for a night close to the Rock of Cashel. The hotel facilities were nice but you’ll need to drive to get anywhere else. All in all I’d highly recommend.
