Really liked my 2 night stay just maybe a bit more atmosphere in the evenings would have been nice.
Pros:

The food was excellent as was the friendliness of the staff. Very nice rooms and bathrooms top level. Location very good also with amazing views. I will definitely return .

Cons:

The evening bar food area was slightly too quiet with people quite close to each other which was somewhat uncomfortable . Maybe having a more relaxed area with a TV or music for some guests particularly those travelling alone would be a improvement.

Friendly staff, family feel, great food and location.
Pros:

Location is great overlooking the bay and gardens and rooms are v comfortable. Breakfast is one of the best I’ve ever had in Ireland and restaurant and bar offered fantastic food as well (we ate in each during our stay).

Cons:

Struggled to regulate the heating at times (during the night so didn’t want to call reception then).
