Had such a lovely stay here with my family, all things considered, the reception and rooms, bathrooms and grounds, restaurants and pool were all lovely and great family oriented choices. The kids buffet was such a big hit; lots of detail to make everything good; lovely breakfast and delightful lady who delivered it to our room; some cracks in the sink and floor tiles and the pool water quality was pretty bad at 6pm but much better at 10am; the elder grumpy waiter was not pleasant but the young cool tall guy was impressive 🤩

Gorgeous hotel and staff were all welcoming and friendly. Room was spotless and comfy, spa relaxing and very accomodating staff. Everything was amazing bar the food. Unfortunately below average standard, the wings were dry as if they were sitting out for ages then tossed in a sauce. The burger was nothing you couldn't throw together at home. For a 4star hotel it was a big let down as everything else was perfect!

We had a nice visit overall. Our server was absolutely lovely and very knowledgeable when it came to recommending cocktails. Their suggestions were excellent and really added to the dining experience. Mia in the lounge was very chatty, which made us feel welcome. We decided to move into the adults-only bar for a while as there was some loud children near us. We were really pleased we did, as it was much more peaceful and relaxing with a nice ambiance. Overall, it was an enjoyable visit, we’ll definitely be back.

We stayed here because it was convenient to attend a wedding locally. But the hotel itself and the staff were really welcoming and the room was very comfortable and very nice. Add to that that it was very clean and very quiet. We’re home around the next day for lunch which turned out to be an excellent decision as the food was absolutely phenomenal and not overly expensive. It’s an excellent location right beside the motorway if you need to move quickly. I would definitely go back

Breakfast starts at 6:30 during the week and seven on Saturday which suited us because we had busy days planned. However the breakfast was a buffet style self service and they do provide you with tea and coffee but when we went up to get the food I can honestly say the food was barely lukewarm which I found very hard to understand. It's such a pity because the staff were lovely but we didn't have time to wait around ask them to heat up just be aware that the food in the mornings was barely hot.

Great all round hotel. Food is great. Rooms are lovely. Celebration was just superb - staff singing happy birthday. I was so happy with this stay. The staff are really welcoming. Gorgeous little coffee cosy area. Bar22 has lovely big skylights so the brightness is just energising. This place is excellent and great value for money but most importantly service is outstanding.

Had an amazing time at our stay, staff were amazing and so kind, food was 10/10. Rooms are lovely, so clean, Dyson hairdryer and coffee machine in the room which is a great touch. Breakfast had loads of options and very tasty. Great value in couples package including prosecco, chocolate covered strawberries, dinner and breakfast all included! Definitely will be back. Special shoutout to Raul who took great care of us in the restaurant and thanks for the recommendation of an orange slice with Jager. We will be taking that one home!

Pretty fancy hotel. The good: - Great gym, plenty of weights and machines as well as dumbells and cardio equipment. No resistance bands or foam rollers. Very busy. - Solid pool/sauna. Pool requires a cap, sauna/hottub/coldplunge do not. Changerooms were busy and could use a clean but nothing horendous. Sauna was smoking hot, exactly the way i like it. - The breakfast buffet was a true full irish breakfast with lots of fruit and healthy options to boot. Coffee is on request and costs a fortune if not included. The food was fresh and delicious. Wife is GF and they had GF options for her (bread and sausage) The bad: The hotel smells weird. Like an old ladies perfume. The interior is pretty fancy so maybe it's a vibe they're going for? If you have sensitivity to scents be mindful. The room has carpet. 🤷 Overall a great experience and staff were phenomenal.
