Good place to stay for a break, make sure you go into the town itself for any food.
Pros:

Room was comfortable, grounds are exceptional, staff in general were fine. Spa was excellent as were the swimming pool and gym facilities.

Cons:

Breakfast was disappointing, the restaurant was okay but the food was nowhere near worth the price, desk staff were not as friendly as I would expect. Decor is a bit dated.

Pros:

It is very beautiful, and the nature around it is amazing

Cons:

Too expensive for what is it. The gym and pool close at 6:30pm on the weekends, so we don’t benefit from it much. For a 5 star hotel, the food was the worst. We returned many dishes at dinner because they were really not good (ex the meat) and the breakfast is really poor. The dishes we can ask from the menu are not good as well. At dinner, the staff was very nice, although a bit lost, but the manager had the worst attitude.
The drive from Dublin and the price paid were really not worth it unfortunately.

Great stay in a wonderful and relaxing location with food and wonderful staff.
Pros:

The Grill restaurant was delicious. Breakfast buffet was fantastic. We loved walking the large grounds. So peaceful. Our room was specious, and I enjoyed a bath — Something I never have time for. They helped us celebrate our 25th anniversary with champagne and chocolates. I enjoyed having a gym to work out in although the hours were not broad enough for our tight schedule.

Cons:

There is nothing I could say I did not like except: trust me soap and hangers. Everything was tacked down and if I a pending $550 US a night I am stealing neither. Los bubble bath for tub would have been nice. I had to pour the tacked down soap into a shower cap to have something to bathe with then there was no kettle for the tea bags.
