Categories

Cleanliness
8
Mixed reports: several guests praised cleanliness but multiple reviews mention visible dirt at the bar, dead flies, mouldy shower mats and some wear/tear in bathrooms — overall slightly above average but with notable lapses.
Service
9.2
Generally very positive: numerous comments about friendly, helpful staff and specific praise for reception/greet (e.g., Shane). Some isolated reports of grumpy or underinformed staff, but overall service is a strong point.
Location
9.5
Very positive: several guests highlighted an ideal location (walking distance to Trim) and pleasant views (rooms overlooking the golf course).
Room Quality
7.6
Mixed to below-par in places: some guests love their usual rooms, but multiple complaints about outdated rooms, exposed wiring, loose knobs, paint patches and other maintenance issues lower the score.
Amenities
9
Strong on key amenities: spa and leisure centre receive excellent feedback; however some facilities (kids zone) being closed and issues with the bar reduce the rating slightly.
Value for Money
7
Concerns noted: explicit comments about being overpriced, an unexpected €72 price increase and statements that rooms/facilities did not match cost — lowers perceived value.
Food and Beverage
7.8
Mixed performance: some praise for food on certain stays, but several reports of slow service, orders not reaching the kitchen, cold or oily dishes and a dirty bar area bring the score down.
Overall Experience
9.1
Overall guests report many fantastic stays (friendly staff, excellent spa/leisure, great location) but a minority of experiences were disappointing due to price, cleanliness or service lapses — net experience remains strongly positive.

OK wouldn’t go back!
Pros:

Clean good decor comfortable room. Good breakfast.

Very poor options on dining and limited menu. Maybe adequate for one night stay but very disappointing for 3 nights. Couldn’t reserve a table. Quality restaurant closed.

The rooms were a bit dated, the afternoon tea was not fresh, and they were low on stay so not very attentive and dinner took ages to come

Goed verblijf!
Pros:

Kamer was ruim en netjes. Ontbijt was OK. Onthaalruimte was gezellig en ruim zodat het aangenaam was om daar je koffie te drinken of een boek te lezen ofzo. Onze zoon had een kamer naast die van ons en we konden opteren om de tussendeur die er was al dan niet te gebruiken. Dit was sowieso handig.

Cons:

Er is een eenvoudig restaurant en dat is comfortabel als je er geen al te uitgebreide avond van wilt maken. Er is ook een chiquer restaurant maar dat hebben we uiteindelijk niet geprobeerd. Het is vrij groot maar de dagen dat wij er waren was er weinig volk en op de een of andere manier sprak het ook ons niet zo aan.
