Didn’t have breakfast so can’t comment. There is not much around the hotel, you need to drive or have a long walk to reach anywhere. The hotel was lovely, the staff excellent we’d stay again. The food in the restaurant was also very good.

Very impressed with the staff who accomodated our needs (daily ice from the bar). While not a deal breaker, would have been nice to have a refrigerator in our excutive suite. Would stay again if ever traveling to Ireland again.

Good location and really comfortable.
Great two night stay. Didn’t experience the restaurant but did have drinks in the bar both evenings. Service was a little slow but nothing out of the ordinary.
Room was large and comfortable and the reception staff were really helpful when I needed to prints some speeches.
