Absolute perfection!
Pros:

Upon arrival the views of the grounds were astounding. Check in was super easy and straightforward. The lady at reception was super welcoming, helpful and informative. I was given the option to have my bags taken to the room however I travelled light so didn't feel the need. However it speaks to the service of staff asking you instead of requiring you to ask.
The hotel was amazing inside and out. It was remarkable.
A key feature I personally loved was water fountains. Which may seem like nothing to some, but I can't count the times, in other locations I have needes to fill a water bottle late at night and have had to wander looking for an appropriate place to fill it.
I had dinner and drinks at the bar and the food was incredible!
I had a burger with fries it was delicious.
The drink options were varied however I stuck to heineken and it was a fantastic pint.
I even managed to tip a pint from how I was seated and the staff cleaned it up with no hassle and replenished the spilled drink.
Which honestly took the embarrasment away and relaxed me.
If this happened elsewhere I may have got up paid and left. Truly speaks to the excellence of all staff members and how welcome they make you feel.

The room was excellent, lovely sized bed. Brilliant view of the grounds and well spaced. Never once felt cramped. The shower was large which I loved. Many times I've stayed at hotels and felt squished into standing in a small tub up against the wall.
Where as at Breaffy it was properly the best shower I have experienced.

Breakfast in the morning was lovely. Open almost until midday. With the food all kept freshed and stocked. Lots of options to suit all preferences.
One thing I noticed was I never felt rushed to get my seat free for the nexr guest. Which is something I greatly appreciated. For me that makes or breaks the breakfast experience.

Terrible experience
Pros:

Lovely views and nice hotel

Cons:

The music coming from the bar wouldn’t allow me to get the sleep I paid for I paid €250 for a good nights rest after being travelling for a few days. Went asleep at 9pm to be woken up at 10pm to loud music coming from the bar. Rang reception and was told they had a band and would try to minimise the noise level. But it didn’t change and stayed awake looking at my ceiling until 1pm trying to go back asleep so disappointing in such an expensive hotel zero star ratings I will be leaving on reviews online
