“The lakeside setting certainly makes it special, and the Christy O'Connor Jnr-designed golf course is a draw. I'm impressed by the comprehensive conference facilities for large events, but accessibility issues raised concerns. It appears the renovations missed some crucial modifications for wheelchair users.”
