Andrew, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.

Disappointing Stay

The hotel gives a wow first impression as you enter. Reception was very good, we got in early and stayed in room 210. Was surprised as it was a double plus 2 singles. Room was good and comfotable and shower bathroom wss good. Decent dized room. Bar area was dull and dingey. Ate dinner which was ok but breakfast is the worst i can recall for a long time. Staff had to be asked for drinks, food was poor and dried out, been there a long time and limited selection. For example fruit was a slice of water melon. Sausages were terrible, eggs like bullet. Real shame as restaurant does not fit with rest of hotel which is a 40 minute walk into town. Pretty disappointed with stay to say the least. 9 stay on trip round Ireland and very poor really, especially for the money paid.

Great staff, hotel needs TLC

Handy hotel with plenty of parking for business in area. A bit out of town but quiet. It’s getting very tired now. The rooms could do with a spruce up and updating. No sockets near or nearby the bed, in addition sockets near desk are taken up with kettle, etc. bathrooms need updating as do 24inch TVs with very poor reception. Bar has a limited menu but of a good standard.

Brilliant staff. Lovely comfortable room. Pints of Guinness in bar were out of this world.
Paul, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
Declan, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Not bad at all

Enjoyed our stay. Only few issues were the dirty carpet in the room, the shower which was awkward to get under, and no sockets beside the bed. Otherwise it was grand.
