Pros:

the lady at reception was lovely upon arrival and food in the restaurant was nice.

Cons:

waiting staff could be a bit more friendlier, a smile costs nothing. As a person with coeliac disease, i asked in relation to my needs, and all i received was yes we can do that. I wasnt told in what way or how, which dishes etc. Not the most friendly of girls which people normally expect in a hotel / restaurant.
breakfast doesnt start till 8am, i was leaving at 7.30 so unable to get anything to eat.

A grand spot.
Pros:

Not a bad spot at all and the food in Cusacks bar is really really good. Room was very clean, a nice touch to be left a large bottle of water. The shower was a bit tricky but the water pressure was awesome. The one thing that dragged down the whole experience was the incredibly rude and condescending receptionist. Really awful person to have at the front desk. The restaurant staff were lovely though.
