The only redeeming quality was the thermal spa. The room had bugs in it. The property had litter on the walking paths. The staff was not great at the Terrace eatery. The food was just okay. Would not recommend

Disappointed by the Linen

We stayed for 1 day for a wedding, room was basic. Had adjoining doors, didn’t like that. One complaint, the linen was not to standard. One hand towel had a black mark, pillow cases had black mark.

The room was large and the bed was comfortable. It also had a large bathroom with both bath and separate shower. Lovely fluffy towels. We had a problem with the hot water in the shower and this was rectified immediately. There was nothing i did not like about this hotel, highly recommended.

Good enough stay but not sure value for money

Room wasn’t ready at 2pm - but didn’t realise check-in was 4pm (which is quite late in comparison with a vast majority of other hotels). Didn’t receive any info at check-in so had to initiate eg breakfast times&location, bars&restaurants. Decor in foyer & bars& communal area was lovely - very comfortable with lots of wee nooks & seating areas. Bedrooms were very spacious with lots of storage. Bathroom was decent but a bit tatty in areas eg grotty grout & silicone, yellow mismatched bath panel. Shower wasn’t powerful at all. Breakfast was ok - not a massive selection - and a very tight area & heavily congested. Staff were pleasant enough, not overly friendly or interested but still pleasant. The biggest peeve was having to pay an extra €25 per person for spa usage! I’ve never had to pay extra for spa when I’ve been a guest! Needless to say we never used it. Overall it was a nice enough stay but not sure it was value for money.

2 night b&b stay. So pleasantly surprised how beautiful rhe hotel is. Much much nicer than website shows. Lovely ambience and fabulous service. Very friendly staff who are the happiest I've seen in most hotels. Niamh is particularly helpful and very entertaining, nothing was too much trouble. Entertainment on both nights was brilliant. Everyone really enjoying themselves singing along with the music and up dancing. Will most definitely be back. Highly recommend
