Beautiful hotel spotless very comfortable excellent breakfast with brilliant staff.
Disappointed check out receptionists just took key and asked room number, then continued to speak to ones checking out behind us. She did not ask was all ok if we enjoyed our stay or even goodbye, whereas did with following customers which made me personally feel unwanted and unwelcome if we wanted to return which we do hope to.
It was close 2 home
Pool felt cool Thought areas were in big need of revamp
Breakfast was good. Food perfectly cooked. Very clean dining room.
Would like to have tea/ coffee served at table rather than self service and carrying the hot liquid across the dining room
The room was nice and spacious, the buffet breakfast is amazing! Very tasty food all round. I had a spa treatment which was great!
The only 2 things I would have to complain about is the fact that the TV’s aren’t smart ones so had to make do with normal tv and the other was that lift was out of order when I stayed, apart from that it was great.
Location
Badly stained carpet in the room
Friendly staff nice hotel
Wir haben nur eine Nacht in dem Hotel verbracht. Soweit wir es mitbekommen haben war es sauber und gemütlich. Das Frühstück war typisch irisch und lecker.
Normale
Good size room, comfortable bed, food was very good
No complaints
Friendly staff
Water wouldn't stay in plug hole in sink
O café da manhã esta excelente! Os funcionários da recepção foram muito gentis. A piscina e hot tube são muito bons.
A único coisa que senti falta foi de um ar-condicionado ou um ventilador de teto, pois como as janelas não abrem muito o quarto fica abafado. Eu fiquei em um quarto com um ventilador de mesa, mas minha prima teve a sorte de se colocado em um quarto maior e acessível com ar-condicionado.
Breakfast was very good and the food in the bar was very good.The leisure center was very good also
The rooms were cold as the heating was turned off.The hot water for the sink took ages to come on.
Great staff. Very good leisure centre. Excellent breakfast.
Nothing
The food was amazing and the staff were very friendly. Clean room and a great shower.
Nice food nice staff food nice good location
Kids are allowed to run riot one knocked over a elderly person luckily the couch caught her they are running all over the bar and restaurant and lobby screaming and yelling while the parents drink maybe that’s why the poor parents need a drink 😂😂 it’s a very kids hotel as long as you know that you’re okay 👌🏻
I love the bedroom, the bathroom in the toilet and bathroom. The jacuzzi and swimming pool was awesome 👌 The staffs were very professional and helpful. The breakfast was awesome 👌 checking in and checking out was easy.
The shower in the bathroom was not great, but works.
Room spacious clean Swimming pool exceptional Jacuzzi outside top class
All good only thing i can say was when I was giving my key card reception staff decided to change my room number I'm thinking because the wedding was on the bottom floor so I was moved to top floor the room I was then given was only set up for one person (ONE TOWEL ONE WATER )
Good location lovely staff food was exceptional in the evening and breakfast was delicious room was very comfortable
Had no issues
My daughter loved her stay there for her birthday with her friend. They really enjoyed the pool and the note and chocolate you left in the room was a lovely touch.
facilities were excellent and breakfast lay out and food was excellent.
there was not a good selection on the menu for an evening meal as it was just the same menu as lunch time. Also the bar area could be cleaned a bit better after lunch time.
Staff and facilities were exceptional
We had two delicious evening meals and there was a good selection for breakfast. The room was spacious and the beds were comfortable.
Nothing really
Staff very attentive food was good very children friendly
Some parts could do with a refresh carpets room lot of foggy double glazing just needs refreshing
Hotel was nice
Pool area could be cleaned a bit more breakfast in bedroom last day parts broken plate under toast. Nothing done about it emailed them never emailed back.
Asked to order a drink in the restaurant twice and didn’t receive it.
Lovely comfortable room, excellent breakfast
Breakfast Food was excellent and was served hot. Evening meals were good. Staff were all very friendly. Service was excellent. Spa was very good value, 'midweek madness' deal of 80 euro was excellent for 2 treatments.
No designated eating areas for adults who are without children. This is a great hotel for families, but grandparents would enjoy a meal more in their own space.
Food and staff were excellent
Room didn't have enough sockets areas seemed run down or in need of an uplift. Showers temperature control was poor in between freezing cold and scalding hot even when set at lukewarm
I liked the location of the property. We also enjoyed the leisure facilities and breakfast.
I felt the property was a little dated, Carpets fraying, rust in the bathroom it just felt a little tired.
Food was excellent in bar shame no restaurant to celebrate our 24th Wedding Anniversary in style, that’s why we chose 4 star hotel
No A/C only a fan very poor for a 4 star. Fan too noisy to leave on for sleeping. Chain on door in rm307 broken made me feel very unsettled A lot of rust in shower area An empty coke can left on landing to lift from when we arrived to when we left
Rooms are spacious, comfortable beds
Some minor cleaning was needed, few bits of dust here and there, there was a stain on one of the towels provided
Loved the SPA and the Team were brilliant.
On arrival & check in no one made us aware of the availability of quiet adult space.
Room and pool lovely friendly staff
Room very hot no air on shame as it was a lovely room
Excellent
Nothing
Breakfast was lovely, thank you. Facilities were excellent.
At times it was a little noisy but I have children myself so I understand.
Kids club was great. Our 4 year old loved it. Excellent place for families and kids.
Hotel needs a face lift. Tired looking in places. Bar food not great and expensive for what it is. Pool and spa had no shower gels or shampoo after swimming and my treatment.
Отличный отель! Осталась очень довольна своим пребыванием. В отеле было очень чисто, уютно и комфортно. Номер удобный, всё необходимое было в наличии. Персонал приветливый и внимательный, атмосфера очень приятная. Всё было прекрасно — от чистоты и удобства до общего впечатления от отеля. С удовольствием остановлюсь здесь снова и буду рекомендовать этот отель другим! ❤️
The room was lovely. But the bed was very hard. And the door of the room wasn't sound proof as people walking about i could hear every sound.
The bed was hard.
Very child friendly Pool The staff
Was very dated and not very clean The baby changing unit was very dangerous- broken and not labelled as broken. When staff member was informed he seemed uninterested. My baby almost rolled off it as it tilted towards the ground (not straight)
Food in Bar
Decor Carpet Lack of cleanliness in main areas
Clean, spacious room. Nice pool.
Would expect shower cream in showers. Shower curtains cling to you while showering. No Mini fridge.
Breakfast good, but rather cold, not properly heated
Woke modern "music" not to my taste. Also too loud. Access to TV news channels in bar lounge difficult
Everything the food, staff, cleanliness, leisure facilities,
Nothing at all
Breakfast was wonderful
Plates could have been a little warmer.
Good location, clean and very good leisure facilities
Breakfast was only nice part of stay
Hotel is very run down lobby was very bad hardly any spare seats. Very busy with families. Room was more than basic shower up high noise of it unbelievable had just use taps of bath. Very hard bed. Lift was so bad noise & jump it made scared us both that after that we never used again used stairs. All in all as a couple we were extremely disappointed would not even consider returning to this hotel
Continent to the town centre. Amazing breakfast.
Rooms a little old school.
Very easy check in
Hotel looks a bit tired on it. A good luck of paint wouldn't do any harm.
Such an enjoyable staying overnight in this hotel. Staff so lovely, rooms spotless. Food excellent. Would definitely recommend it to family and friends.
Absolutely nothing
Very friendly staff and great food
N/A
Regular visitor over the years...staff always very helpful. Hotel is clean with good facilities for all sorts of visitors.
Going home.
Needs a good facelift. Paint outside weed garden etc. carpets worn chairs need cleaned. Bar area carpet was filthy
Nothing
The receptionist was very unfriendly and the hotel was very dirty and the food was grim and it was incredibly overpriced. The pool was dirty and the plasters in the hot tub. It was really gross.
The hotel is located in a pretty picturesque town, with an architecturally stunning cathedral visible from the rear of the hotel. This is an amazing building and worth a visit. The hotel itself is large, with a striking interior, beautiful crystal chandeliers and a feeling of opulence. Our double room was pristinely clean, very large and roomy, with good facilities, tea/coffee, biscuits. We were generously supplied with bottles of water that were replenished. The bathroom was large, very contemporary, extremely clean, with a nifty hairdryer, excellent bath and shower. During our stay all the staff we met were friendly, helpful and genuinely happy to be of service to the client. We enjoyed a couple of delicious meals in the restaurant, ample, well cooked and presented dishes. There was a friendly and convivial ambience in the restaurant and throughout the hotel. A special mention for the exceptional breakfast, what an extensive selection of everything! My husband and sister in law enjoyed the cooked food, all of which was fabulous and cooked to perfection. I enjoyed the fresh fruit, really fresh everyday and the tasty porridge. The staff responsible for breakfast deserve a big thank you for their friendly, conscientious approach to their work. We will stay here again, for sure👏😊
We have nothing to complain about!
Couldn’t sleep at all. People up and down in the corridors and could hear next door. Was late coming home from work and just said I’d get a room and get a good nights rest but that wasn’t the case. I had little to no sleep and was up for work at 7 with no sleep. Wasn’t impressed at all.
Friendly and inclusive
Location
Some areas could do with a bit of refreshing

Staff where friendly & welcoming. Very happy to answer any questions we had.
NA

Comfortable bedroom, nice food in the bar. Easy parking. We got a room fan during the heatwave.
Rooms are little dated and could be a little cleaner in the bathroom. More towels.
