faulty tvlimited pastry
The room seemed fine at first glance and the bed looked comfortable. I had problems with the WiFi during my entire stay. The TV also didn't work. The food wasn't excellent. Items tasted bland, and the pastry selection consisted of just one item that wasn't replaced. It all seemed like an afterthought.

Really good wedding experience

overall experienceclass bedtop class actremote location
I attended a friend's wedding here during paddy's weekend. The hotel was overall just PERFECT. The cleanliness impressed me. Everything felt new. The staff, especially robbie the night porter, was amazing. I look forward to returning with my son for a summer trip.
the location felt a bit remote. The village was quiet . Perhaps a summer visit would reveal a more lively atmosphere.
