Felt like a budget Disneyland. Not luxurious as advertised.
Pros:

The grounds were lovely. Room was comfortable.

Cons:

Food was sub standard and very commercial. The full Irish breakfast was disappointing! The sausage or meats were spoiled and gave me diarrhea . I had to take a taxi to a pharmacy. Not happy experience.

Pros:

It was a beautiful facility and the staff was so accommodating. The room was comfortable and set up as we requested - 2 twin beds for my daughter and me vs 1 king size bed. We were treated well and enjoyed things like valet, baggage handling and turn down service. Delightful!

Cons:

It was expensive and then you had to pay for many other things while you were there. It was a splurge for us.
