Excellent but warm two days.
Pros:

Attended a two day wedding here. Staff and setting was lovely along with the food all weekend.

Cons:

It was a warm weekend and not having any air-con in rooms was very uncomfortable. Would be good to have children times in the pool area, we would visit again if this was the case.

Pros:

The shuttle with George, he was a lovely chap.
The spa was fantastic 5/5....
The Tomahawk steak from the Cedar restaurant was also amazing. 5/5
Isla the server was absolutely wonderful.
The infinity pool was also fantastic, and we were lucky to have got to use it during nice weather
The staff were very polite and quite lovely
The walk with the little swings at the lake was beautiful,
The shower was quite nice too, lacked power but felt nice anyways with the huge shower head.

Cons:

The bar service was terrible....
The bar food wasn't very good either, my wife's steak on her steak sandwich was like a slipper, also i advised her not to order it as the table in front had 3 people just send theirs back....
I had received and eaten my side before I had to ask for the burger I had ordered...
The staff, however, we're lovely but just a bit overwhelmed, it seemed.
They didn't even ask my wife why she barely touched her sandwich, just took it away and charged the full €22.
Also, waiting for a drink in the cedar for way too long because the bar was 'backed up' wasn't the 4 star experience you would expect..

The room itself had no air conditioning or fridge...
For the price, you would it imagine it would, as the room was quite open and spacious and lovely, just also quite stifling and we didn't want to keep bothering the staff to keep bringing up ice (the ice machine on our floor was gone)
The breakfast was extremely standard. I found it wasn't bad by any means but was just......grand.
I ordered an omelette, and it was extremely bland and had very little ham or cheese in it.

All in all I have been to cheaper hotels with better facilities in the rooms, better food for the prices and better service over all.
Would not return or recommend it, which is a shame because it has such nice potential
