Charmant hotel maar prijs/kwaliteit tegenvaller.
Pros:

De charme van het hotel en de bijhorende supergezellig ingerichte eetgelegenheden

Cons:

Personeel in het restaurant en in de bars, vaak zeer jong en niet vriendelijk.
Vooral ook geen werk zien, niet komen opnemenen ook niet vragen of er al geholpen werd, niet afruimen, bij velen kon er ook geen lachje af ...
Geen wifi op tv, netflix hebben ze erop zitten maar je kon niet inloggen, ook niet via screening.

Nice, comfortable hotel with amazing breakfast, and secure parking.
Pros:

The room was comfortable and convenient. Noise from restaurant and bar below was not even noticeable, which was great. The breakfast in Vanilla Pod was exceptional! The best of all the included breakfasts we had!

Cons:

The Kelltic Bar, under the hotel, was very nice looking, but the service and food were terrible. Would not dine there again, and would not recommend.

fijn hotel met een uitstekende prijs-kwaliteitverhouding
Pros:

Vriendelijk personeel,ruime schone kamer en goed ontbijt

Cons:

Onder het raam van onze kamer zit een airco en afzuiginstallatie wat veel lawaai maakt. Daardoor kan het raam niet open.
Ondanks dit kleinigheidje komen we graag terug

Bad experience
Pros:

Waited a very long time to even get a menu. From the time our main course arrived until we left not one staff member checked if we needed anything or if we would anything else (we would have had a dessert). Service very disappointing.

Pros:

Lovely large bedroom and equally large bathroom.The breakfast was excellent with the hot items cooked to order. The receptionist was extremely helpful.

Cons:

Everything was fine except when we reached the 1st floor we then had to go up several flights of stairs to reach our room as we seemed to be on the top floor.

Lovely Hotel.
Pros:

Lovely Hotel. Lovely staff.

Cons:

Won't stay at this hotel again - which is a pity.
They held a fox hunting Ball when i was in residence. I don't support or understand how this is still a sport which can be celebrated. Anywhoo - just my opinion.
