Beautifully decorated suite in a wonderful hotel.
Pros:

The suite was wonderful. It was large, beautifully decorated, and best of all, air conditioned! There were 2 large TVs, one in the bedroom and one in the dining/sitting room. The bathroom had 2 sinks and a wonderful walk in shower. The breakfast was fantastic.

Cons:

I couldn’t believe there was no fridge/ mini bar! Every hotel we’ve stayed in has had one, but this big beautiful hotel does not? With one this hotel would definitely rate a 10.

Lieu magique
Pros:

Le lieu magique. Le breakfast royal.
Le parc à visiter ! Les lapins 🐰 en liberté

Cons:

Absence de petit frigo dans la chambre.
Et le pommeau de douche sans flexible comme aux États-Unis.
Il manque aussi d'isolation intérieure, on entend les bruits de couloirs

You get what you pay for in abundance.
Pros:

I liked everything about this hotel, the breakfast was amazing, staff are exceptional and the grounds are perfect. I will definitely be going back to this hotel.

Cons:

I was unable to connect my phone to the tv and too tired to call anyone up. It didn’t have any apps that I could sign in on the tv. Tiny issue, no big deal.

Pros:

The welcome we received from the concierge, all staff where very friendly and knowledgeable.

We stayed in the Claire Suite, but there was a lot of noise, coming from the the next door storage area maybe a window was open which in turn was rattling our door,

A luxurious start to our Irish holiday.
Pros:

This was an exceptional hotel. Set in beautiful grounds, it was comfortable, clean and extremely well appointed. Everything was thoughtfully designed to give guests a wonderful stay. Our rooms were spacious with a great view of the estate. We had everything we needed and more (superb bathroom with high quality toiletries, coffee machine, iron, tv, comfy super king-size bed.) The food was delicious and there were plenty of vegetarian choices both at breakfast and dinner. All staff we met were friendly, courteous and very helpful.
