Excellent, really enjoyed everything.
Pros:

The staff were excellent from the minute i made my booking with 2 requests. I booked one year in advance of my stay so wanted to make sure i got the room id hoped for. I did.!! The room was incredible, the decor suited the castle and made for a really great experience. We had food in the bar, the staff were very friendly and very attentive, the food itself was excellent, special mention to those wings and Cauliflower croquettes WOW.!!! Very filling. Portion sizes certainly will not be disputed. Crispy Pork belly was so good, and Steak Sandwich was perfect. (But we were too full to finish after the starters) what a good complaint to have. All round experience of the castle was brilliant. I would definitely recommend a stay here.

Cons:

Only fault id have is, after dinner the bar stays open til 4am yet music from the speakers was shut off at 11 and a bit of live music would really set the place off after sinner. The seating and fires lighting give off a great vibe, but the place was empty by 11.30. Breakfast the next morning was cooked perfectly, full Irish and French toast exactly as ordered. No complaints at all. And a lovely surprise to see the 2 Irish Wolf hounds outside in the grounds.

Great stop between Belfast and Dublin. Must have a car
Pros:

Three double beds in one room with plenty of space. Very comfortable beds. Beautiful hotel and grounds. Dinner was delicious and breakfast (was included) was great too. Friendly staff. Free onsite parking.

Cons:

Only complaint was we were in the courtyard rooms and when it was raining there was no cover to get to the hotel (though very short walk) and this is only if I HAVE to have a complaint. We loved it.

Pros:

The whole experience was grand. The grounds were beautiful, the castle magnificent. Though I stayed in the courtyard section instead of the castle proper, the room was first rate, large and well appointed. I ate at the bar restaurant, where the service and food were excellent.

Cons:

I was hoping to see the wolfhounds but couldn't find them. :(
