Beautiful peaceful hotel 5km for Bantry Bay.
Pros:

Beautiful Victorian hotel and was very clean rooms were lovely too.

Cons:

you had to pay €30 per person to used the spa facilities i thought this was ridiculous considering we paid considerably a lot for a 2 night stay.
Dinner finished serving at 8pm too early in my opinion we only got back at 8pm one evening and couldn’t get food so we had to go in to Bantry to get food.
The Showers could do with upgrading, in our bathroom the screen was small and the floor got wet each time.
