Pros:

It’s a beautiful property and place with nice big bedrooms and great facilities. Good breakfast too. The staff in the ground was lovely too.

Cons:

Really bad communication from management. The place was closed for 2 weeks but we were only contacted the day of our arrival to notify us we could not stay the day we were arriving despite knowing the hotel reopening was the day after our arrival well in advance. We were called once while on the flight to Ireland (no message, email or booking.com text on the day before our arrival) to then receive only a message through booking.com at 11 am on the day of arrival leaving us to look for alternative accommodation in a very short period of time while on the train from Dublin to Athlone. Very poor form and management. They could have advice of the situation with more lead time to have back up plan in place just in case. We understand about the closure but notifying us the same day of arrival without trying to contact us by different channels is UNACCEPTABLE. Whoever was in charge of notifying guest did a very poor job.

100% will return to gorgeous Glasson!
Pros:

Adored our stay here! The pool is such a standout! We used the gym, the bicycles to cycle around nearby and loved walking around the grounds and sitting on the swings! Just fabulous and the room was decorated fabulously and so comfortable too!
Loved the decor in the bathroom, the double sinks, heated towel racks and gorgeous shower.
Perfect getaway to relax and unwind, great tv with netflix too.

Lovely property, pity about the restaurant
Pros:

The location is excellent, the outdoor pool is cool and the property is sleek and modern

Cons:

The restaurant. Got very poor service at both Dinner and Breakfast.
At dinner we waited 40mins for main course and then after waiting 30mins for dessert we requested to cancel them, which prompted the waiter to then bring them out, I then had to reiterate that I wanted to cancel them. Then only one was removed from the bill, luckily I went through it in detail to check and when prompted the waiter removed the other dessert from the bill.
At breakfast I got pancakes with bacon and maple syrup. I got no maple syrup and was left waiting 15 minutes before it arrived. Luckily this time the waitress offered to bring fresh pancakes.

Style over substance
Pros:

The property was stunning, very well decorated, breathtaking almost. Check in staff were lovely very welcoming and well organised. Room was fabulous.

Cons:

Particularly did not like service in the restaurant and food was very over priced. No bar food available during our stay. The service in the restaurant was poor and disorganised. Breakfast was mediocre, no table service. Cocktails were extremely expensive and lacking in quality. No atmosphere, staff didn’t look after you like you would expect in a place like this. Very young inexperienced staff was like everyone was on their summer holiday job.
