Very pleasant short stay extremely comfortable hotel and i would go back, hopefully for longer.
Pros:

Rooms are very spacious and comfortable. Everything you could possibly need is in the room including a Vinyl record player.

Cons:

Breakfast was a little sparce i went for the Full Breakfast Grill. I just thought there could have been more on the plate. There was a buffet also but i prefer a cooked breakfast at hotels.

Schlechter Service, schlechte Zimmer, schlecht / überhaupt nicht geschlafen.
Pros:

Nichts

Cons:

Das Zimmer und Bad war nicht sauber gereinigt, auf dem WC-Ring waren eingetrocknete Körperflüssigkeiten (?), Medikamentendeckel und ein Ohrring wurde im Bad gefunden. Starker Schimmel auf den Fliesen in der Dusche neben dem Spender, was auch starke Geruchsemissionen verursachte.
Die Ausstattung sehr verlebt.
Am schlimmsten waren jedoch die lautstarken Emissionen des Kühlraums (Kompressoren), welche die ganze Nacht liefen und u.a. auch Vibrationen verursachten. Schlaf? Keine Chance.
Rückmeldungen an der Rezeption wurde mit fadenscheinigen Erklärungen (u.a. „Das Restaurant hat halt offen“) abgeschmettert. Professionalität in Form von Entschuldigung, fehl am Platz.

This place was the highlight of my Ireland trip.
Pros:

Beautiful in every way because the staff was exceptional and the gracious and friendly owner gave us the feeling we were his extended family. The views from the dining facility were beyond belief fantastic with two walls of windows overlooking the entire bay from the hill. A short ride or walk into town. The food served was as beautiful to the eye as it was tasty and pleasant to the stomach. An added plus is that there is a wonderful variety of artwork on the walls that speaks to every person in some manner because so many styles of art are represented.

Cons:

Nothing to dislike because everything was great.
