Pros:

Really tasty food in the Cedar Bar
Lovely breakfast
Spacious bedrooms
Bar staff were lovely and warm

Cons:

Bar is quite small. There was a private party in the bar which took over the upstairs of the bar so the downstairs was quite tight for dinner and drinks.
Breakfast was to order not buffet style
Reception staff appeared flustered at times although pleasant felt we were a hindrance

Pros:

Bedroom was nice , beds comfortable. Nice fluffy white towels. Air conditioning in room.

Cons:

Reception staff not very welcoming.

The dining area where you have the buffet breakfast was located in the corner of the dining room. There was no room for people to queue to get their cereals , juice, yogurt etc. Very badly structured.

There was a so called private function upstairs above the bar area. The music was excellent but you had no choice but listen to it from down stairs while you were having your meal.
Not everyone wants to listen to loud music.

The restaurant had a limited food menu, while the bar area had a more extensive food menu which you would think it would be the other way round.

I would highly recommend the Killeshin and will return! We miss Angela already!
Pros:

Angela at the front desk was so welcoming! She knew and greeted us by name and gave us great suggestions on places to see nearby. The meals were fantastic, both breakfast and lunch. One morning, I came down early to buy coffee. The cafe was not open yet. I went to the restaurant where the manager went to great efforts in the cafe to get my coffee. His coffee machine in the restaurant was being serviced so he went to the darkened cafe and got my coffee. That was much appreciated and unlikely to have happened at home for us.

Cons:

The parking was ample but the spaces were tight for nervous American drivers!

Pros:

Wir wurden freundlich empfangen und hatten ein schönes, sauberes Zimmer.
Das Frühstück war bis auf den Obstsalat gut.

Cons:

Es hatte leider keine Klobürste und im Restaurant schmecken die Chips wie panierter Kartoffelbrei.Außerdem war die Wassertemperaturregelung beim Duschen schwierig.
