The hotel grounds were beautiful. I found the breakfast fantastic with a wide variety of options. The family room I stayed in was spacious and clean.
The carpets throughout the hotel looked stained. They also was quite old. I observed cobwebs over the entry door of the hotel, not appealing. I was disappointed that desserts in the bar cost a minimum of €10.50. I thought this price was too high for the quality.
