We stayed in one of their large family rooms—accommodating 2 adults and 2 children. The room was larger than what we are usually accustomed to, and it came with tea, coffee, and a bottle of water, which was a nice touch. We used the pool twice, and the kids absolutely loved it. We also had dinner one evening, which was enjoyable.

We were late arriving but it wasn't a problem, the night porter was expecting us and check in was quick and efficient. Our room was spacious and immaculate as was the bathroom. Breakfast was fresh and delicious. The staff were very helpful and friendly. We had an issue with our tv but it was sorted within minutes of our request. I used the spa and the swimming pool and both were great. A lovely hotel and lovely staff. We hope to be back soon.

WiFi was very slow, bed was hard, pillows were very flat and hard, 1 elevator was broken with no “out of order” sign, no outlets by the bed - we both use cpap machines and the cords barely reached the outlet on the other side of the room, and no shampoo or conditioner. No A/C, but that seems to be common in the surrounding areas-the window did open for cooler air. Food in the bar was great but the service was a little slow.

Was moved to a room that had better Wi-Fi coverage, a minor inconvenience but the staff were always most helpful. Everything else was very comfortable. Particularly enjoyed the swimming pool.. Had breakfast and a couple of evening meals which were a good standard. In the evenings the staff were faultless and I enjoyed the comfort with a pint of Guinness. Many thanks, I stayed for four nights and would recommend this hotel. Ron Sweeney.

Rooms are very big, with high ceilings. Spotlessly clean though a bit basic and slightly dated. Food in the bar/restaurant was average. The bar area itself is a bit soulless and lacking in atmosphere. My biggest issue though was the pillows provided. They were made of a rubber filling and extremely dense, so there was no give in them which meant I stried to sleep with my head at a 90 degree angle to my bidy. Needless to say, not much sleep was had. Fix the pillows and the hotel would be spot-on.

The hotel was very impressive upon entry. The person who welcomed us at the front desk was friendly and professional. The room was very spacious and well equipped. We found the TV was very small and the water pressure in the shower could be a bit better. It was convenient to have a restaurant within the hotel. However, based on the rest of the hotel, we had higher expectations. The quality of the food could be improved.

We had a good stay. Two issues the swimming was freezing given the weather at this time of year in the west of Ireland it would be good to have the pool warmer as the kids wanted out after 20-30mins due to it being to cold. The other the staff in hotel were lovely and very accommodating however they were very young and food service was at times slow. For breakfast in the morning it took a long time to refill the food items.
