A step back in history with modern amenities
Pros:

Beautiful setting and a stunning and interesting historical building. A unique experience. We enjoyed walking through the trails on the extensive grounds. The fitness centre, spa and pool complex is modern and bright. Dining was excellent but best of all was the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff.

Cons:

We don't have any negative comments.

Fabulous location, brilliant customer service with Oisin and great breakfast. Entertainment letdown
Pros:

Room fabulous, breakfast fabulous. Oisin in reception outstanding. Went over and above. Exceptional service. The best receptionist we have come across in our travels in the Country. So we'll done Oisin.

Cons:

The entertainment in the bar left us with a headache, way too loud and could not enjoy our drinks, having to shout at each other to have a conversation. For being a 4 star hotel we feel there is no need for somebody signing lthat loud in a small bar area. So did not enjoy our evening/night.

Pros:

The staff were exceptional, nothing was too much trouble and they went out of their way to accommodate us in Healy Macs even though it was extremely busy and never once rushed us to free the table. The food was beautiful both for dinner and breakfast. I definitely will return

Will not be back unfortunately
Pros:

Lovely hotel great scenery spacious room

Cons:

I didn’t like how I couldn’t see out any window there was no mini fridge in the room which wasn’t great also the tv only had 3 working channels and Netflix would not work for us? I’m not sure if our room was right above the bar or something but we stayed Friday and Saturday with my two small kids and we could not sleep due to the man singing in the bar downstairs I could hear word for word and that was very disappointing with two small kids and then on the Saturday night we were woken by children running up and down past our room shouting and messing which went on for an hour! Food was nice and the service was good but disappointed with the room and how we could hear everything going on in the bar all night when it was supposed to be a weekend away

The hotel staff were friendly and responsive, The hotel didn't we feel meet its own portrayal online
Pros:

We had a junior suit and it was well presented and very clean with plenty of room. We used the spa on the day of arrival prior to check in and the staff were very friendly and the two therapists that looked after us were excellent and we were more than ready to stat our short break after relaxing in the treatment area. We found all the staff polite and welcoming
Although busy at breakfast and particularly on Sunday morning, it was all well presented and there was no issue with any special request.

Cons:

Although we enjoyed our time in the Spa it is looking rather well used and in need of some TLC, given the hotel portrays its self as having this facility we felt this and some areas in the hotel were looking worn-out/tired
