Staff very helpful and courteous. Lighting in bedroom, especially the bathroom, was really dim. It was impossible to read even when we got an extra bedside lamp from reception. Fresh food salad at breakfast was really disappointing as it consisted mainly of apples with minimal other fruit except watermelon.Not what I expected.

Wonderful view if the Lough. Good food and friendly service. The bathroom could do with brighter lighting and although breakfast was lovely (recommend the avocado, beetroot, posched eggs) it was not clear that you had to get your toast from the buffet which is strange seeing as it says on the menu scramble eggs on toast.
