Pros:

Aamiainen oli ihan ok, sai valita listalta, eli ei buffet. Ehkä olisin kaivannut hieman enemmän tietoa tai jotain kontaktia henkilökunnalta, mutta pähkittiin sitten itse. Sijainti on hieno, meri vieressä. Paikallisjunalla (DART) kulkee vaivatta Dubliniin ja Bray Headilta on upeat näkymät.

Cons:

Tänne ei todellakaan kannata mennä, jos haluaa illalla oleskella huoneessa. Aika armoton jumputus alakerran baarista (tämä oli viikonloppu, joten ehkä ei viikolla) Lisävuoteena toiminut sohva oli todella lusussa, joten ei ehkä aikuista siihen nukkumaan. En ole ihan varma, onko hintansa arvoinen - sijainti kyllä kiva, mutta muuten ehkä vähän toivomisen varaa.

Pros:

Clean & comfortable

Cons:

No fruit, juices or cereals available for breakfast. Nothing suitable for Coeliac
Despite requesting Gluten free options at time of booking, we were not made aware that they had NONE available. Would be good if this could be highlighted at time of booking.

Fascinating building, good situation, most expensive room per square metre we've ever stayed in!
Pros:

The room had a sea view, as requested, but see below for other comments. We stayed three nights and ate in the Curry Leaf every evening, waiting staff attentive and helpful, food was good; choice of noisy or quiet area. Parking on the street was 5 euros for a day was no problem. Unusual house full of Oscar Wilde memorabilia.

Cons:

The room was far too small for a double. No room for nightstands and one side of the bed butted up against the bathroom door. Half the sockets in the room didn't work and the ones that did were behind/under the small dressing table (we had to find these ourselves, no explanation on arrival). Suitcases had to lie on the floor. Only one chair. Bathroom so small nowhere to lay toiletries. No lift in the house and two flights of stairs down to the restaurant. So for us a lot of inconveniences.
