Bene
Pros:

La posizione, la doccia, la cena

Cons:

La stanza era fredda. Avrei apprezzato una mensola dove appoggiare almeno gli spazzolini e il dentifricio, in bagno.

Disappointed
Pros:

The evening meal a La carte was good.

Cons:

The room and bathroom were cold
And remained cold overnight. The staff did nothing to remedy the situation. It was the worse place I have ever stayed at in Ireland. Very disappointing. The staff did nothing to listen and pass information between them about the sub standard room.

Very disappointed
Pros:

I was surprised by this property. The impressions from the photographs were very different to the reality.

Cons:

The room was cold the bedroom was cold the bathroom was freezing. Reception did not seem to care. There inaction led us to leave as soon as we were able. How can they let out a stone cold room even trying to turning the radiators up one was cold the other tepid. I asked for two single duvets but they couldn’t accommodate my request until the following day. This was the worse place I have stayed in Ireland. It was very disappointing. It makes a mockery of Ireland’s Blue Book. The quality was shocking.

Cons:

The only thing I didn't like was leaving 🤣
