Immer wieder gerne
Pros:

Toller Umschwung - einladend für einen kurzen Spaziergang. Dinner war top und Frühstück lässt keine Wünsche offen.

Cons:

Die Lichtverhältnisse / -Schalter waren eher dürftig. Darum gibt es in Irland in jedem Hotel ein Bügelbrett ?

Pros:

Beautiful hotel, lovely walks around the grounds The breakfast was superb. Staff very friendly. The hotel was very clean.

Cons:

We stayed midweek during the peak season. It would have been nice to have The shuttle bus service, but it was only available at weekends or maybe even have live music in the hotel.

Way over priced for the hotel but eating or drinking was massively overpriced.
Pros:

Clean with friendly staff

Cons:

The stay was expensive but the cost of eating and drinking there was disgracefully expensive. The menu was not extensive but dinner was good quality and nice but small in portion. Breakfast was plain and bland. The hotel is in an isolated setting and you must drive to eat or drink anywhere else so I think the hotel must feel they have a captive clientele so can charge them excessively. The prices were higher than central Dublin 5 star hotels. I heard other customers also shocked upon seeing the menus. I won’t be back not because of the hotel or customer service but because of the rip off food prices. Poor management decision.
