Staff are this hotels main asset
Pros:

Friendliness of staff , the fresh air, the bed !!!

Cons:

The large dehumidifier in the corner of our room ....room was warm but a bit concerning !! Does every room have one ? Can understand with damp weather we ve had but felt a 5 star horel which we visit regularly should explain the presence of this piece of equipment in a room .

Not a bad stay but not worth the money.
Pros:

The man who welcomed us at the door was so lovely and the food from Cedars was very good.

Cons:

When we arrived, the men’s toilets were filthy. We went for a walk while waiting for check in and they were in the same state when we arrived back. The property doesn’t have any original or special features, it’s been gutted and turned into a hotel without much personality- particularly in the bedroom. The lampshades were grubby in the cedar restaurant.

The dinner really left us disappointed and left an overall bad impression and we couldn’t even let the front desk know w
Pros:

The scenes and cleanliness

Cons:

We got food in gallery bar and it was not very good and staff did not come back for long time to try let them know. We ended up just paying and leaving back to the room. It cost us nearly €150 and we barely ate the steak which was very disappointing
