Dated rooms for premium prices
Pros:

Nice newly renovated bathroom

Cons:

overall Hotel felt dated and in need of renovation. Bed mattresses were far too soft, unsupportive and overall were not comfortable. Windows had old paint chipping off and required block of wood to keep sash window open

Pros:

I liked the location plus the staff were nice. The bedroom was nice too. There was plenty parking.

Cons:

I didn't like that we had to book in for breakfast in advance.
Plus, the outdoor hot tub was out of action when we got there-the Saturday of the August bank holiday weekend, and I wasn't notified of this in advance, nor was it on the website. Only got told when I enquired about it after checking in. Had chosen the hotel because of the hot tub amenity, so we were disappointed, not to be able to use it. The alternative as per the receptionist was for us to use the other facilities of the spa but that closed at 6 pm on Saturday and didn't open till 10 am on Sunday, which didn't suit us. Plus a couples massage wasn't possible.
As well as that, the vegetarian options for lunch were limited, and the price for the night was too expensive, given that not all the facilities were available.

Disappointing experience
Pros:

The location was good. Close to ferry for Garnish island and the town.

Cons:

The bedrooms were smal.l reception staff was not overly friendly. you have to pay extra to use the spa facilities 15 euro for half an hour .considering we spent 120 euro each on our accommodation.very poor. I expected this to be included . At breakfast you made your own tea and coffee .very poor .the carpets in the main area were stained . the bar had no rosé wine & was small. Food wasn't good value for money.
