The food that we had in the bar and the dining room was up to a very good standard.
Pros:

The breakfast was good and we liked the history of the hotel and the location.

Cons:

We didn’t have hot water in our room for the four days we stayed so as it was very inclement rainy and cold weather a hot shower would have been more then welcome
We did not like the male manager of the bar staff who served us on the evening of Tuesday and Wednesday night. He was thoroughly condescending and if he saw us during the day completely ignored my friend and I. We are like sisters and have travelled extensively together over the last 30 years to many parts of Europe, Asia, Middle East in 5 and 4 star hotels and as anyone know unpleasant or unwelcoming staff are the biggest headache and leave a so/so memory of a hotel that should have be remembered with extremely fond memories.

Pros:

Bedroom & bathroom was clean & comfortable. Lots of Parking available. Staff were friendly. Lunch in the bar was good. Temperature in the room was comfortable, the weather was warm.

Spa treatments, massage and facial were very good. I would highly recommend a massage.
The outdoor spa area is a bit tired looking and has alot of potential to really impress. It is a shame, as had a fantastic experience otherwise regarding our treatments. The staff were very polite and friendly in the spa.

Cons:

Breakfast was very dissapointing. We ordered a full Irish and I couldn't eat 80% of what was on the plate. The scrambled egg was rubbery and the mushrooms and bacon were very overdone. The breakfast had hints of being sat under a heat lamp for too long. This was very dissapointing given that we ordered off the breakfast menu. Ordering breakfast off a menu at a hotel usually guarantees freshly made, dishes served directly to your table, unlike breakfast self serve buffets. Our breakfasts were most definitely not freshly made to order. Another tell tale sign was, how quickly the staff served the cooked breakfast. It came out within a few minutes of ordering. I hadn't had time to look at what fruit/yoghurt options were on offer. We stayed mid week out of school holidays in May. The hotel seemed quiet (not too many guests) and there were at most, six tables dining at the same time as us for breakfast. We enjoyed our stay at the hotel however, I would certainly give breakfast a miss if we were to ever return. It really was not worth the extra cost.
