Fabulous staff, clean and comfortable rooms, top notch facilities.
Pros:

Amazing hotel. Staff were so lovely and accommodating. Facilities great and the rooms were clean and comfortable.

Cons:

Not necessarily a negative but the only thing is the hotel was slightly out of town and a good 30 min walk to the good pubs etc, but this was also a positive as it was nice and quiet round the hotel area.

Es war das beste Hotel bei unserer Irland Rundreise. Zimmer sind sehr sauber. Diese wurden auch gerade erst renoviert. Whirlpool, Sauna und Dampfbad sind top.

Comfortable rooms, delicious food, wonderful staff
Pros:

I attended a wedding and from the minute we checked in the staff were so friendly and helpful. At the dinner the food came out so quick, piping hot, and delicious. The room was very spacious, modern, and comfortable. We had everything we needed. Plenty of parking and close to a shop.

Cons:

As with everything these days, the price.

Pros:

Lovely and clean . Great location. The pool area was so nice and rooms were comfortable. Staff very friendly

Cons:

That we couldn’t sit outside to have lunch or a drink because it was reserved for a wedding . Would have preferred to have known that before arrival . We only had one night and were looking forward to having lunch in the sunshine

Superb staff and extremely comfortable
Pros:

Our room was spacious and the spa facilities were excellent. The staff were friendly, helpful and delightful. Our only problem was disruptive mechanical noise in our room from a neighbouring WC extractor fan but the super efficient reception staff resolved it for us without a murmur.

Cons:

Considering the size of the hotel, it needs more outside seating. Glorious weather may not be an everyday event in Ireland, but the sun shone for us and more seating would have been ideal.
