Pros:

Room was excessively hot and took staff over three hours to correct this and couldn’t offer us an alternative room. Busy major road too near the hotel.

Beautiful as always. Have stayed a few time before making way from Aberdeen to Cork. Nice stop off on way there or back. Wish had more time as a lovely spot, great spa and amenities for everyone, especially kids. Best of all the gardens. Looking fantastic as ever.

Windowless room but otherwise nice
Pros:

Room was smart, but didn’t have any windows aside from a small very high velux.

Don’t think I’ve ever seen this before in a hotel room, felt very claustrophobic. Room seemed to really fluctuate in temperature as the aircon kicked in and out. I’d say it was quite pricey for a windowless room. I’m surprised no other reviews seem to mention it.

Quite a strange setup having to cross the road from the main hotel to get to the room but no big deal.

Staff were otherwise very nice and the food was good. But won’t go back just for fear of getting another windowless room.
