Pros:

The views and balcony. It was cosy.

Cons:

It was cosy busy. Bank Holiday weekend. Our meal and seating felt like expensive school dinners. Although a little surprised, it is to be expected with volume of traffic. I had the lasagne, which was very small and accompanied by 16 chips, no garnish, all for €24 . Which, in my opinion was waaayyy over priced. My wife's salad was the same price. Food 4/10 . Unfortunately will not be returning, due to the "Wicklow tax" . Room's were also not great value. 7/10. Decent breakfast though, 6.5/10.

Would have been great if we could have stayed in the room we booked
Pros:

Beautiful location and great food.

Cons:

We had to move from our beautiful deluxe room we booked because it was directly above the dining room where there was very loud live music every night of the week. The new room was nowhere near the same quality as the first room. Also, our key cards kept deactivating so we had to have them reactivated 3 times in just 1 week. Reception said it's a known problem that no-one knows how to fix.
