Beautiful Hotel, Great value for money 😊
Pros:

We loved everything , the staff were so friendly, the hotel reception and rooms were beautifully decorated. We ate in the bar and the food waa delicious and the service was excellent. My little neices ,7 & 9 , loved their dinners and even got a second helping of gravy !!

Cons:

The only thing I would say is in the room we were in Netflix did not work on the telly even though it was on the controls . Im not sure if there was any wifi connected to it as there were only a few Irish channels. The other small thing would be around the leisure centre - in my opinion the ladies changing rooms , toilets etc need a freshen up. There are areas the have what looks like a little rust. But all in all myself, my sister and my neices had an amazing little break . Thank you Woodlands Hotel and leisure Centre. We will most definitely be back 😊

I had a brilliant stay with fantastic staff, but the hotel restaurant could improve its accommodation of food allergies.
Pros:

Peaceful, location, swimming pool ,breakfast, staff

Cons:

The restaurant’s inability to cater for food allergies this time around yet they’ve done so previously.

Pros:

Good location. Plenty parking.

Cons:

Key card holder broken. Shower was hard to work. Mould on wall in room. Rooms are very outdated and hotel needs renovations. Overall hotel cleanliness was only ok. Not good value but hotels are gone so expensive.

Nice property but a little out of the way.
Pros:

The leisurely centre was great even though I did not take advantage of it. Meals were good but the place was pretty busy most of the time.

Cons:

Everything was good so nothing to dislike.
