Beautiful hotel with lovely views and very nice breakfast. Only issue was a very slow drain in the bathroom which caused the shower to leak all over the floor which wasn’t very nice!

The property is beautiful. We stayed only one day but I wish we would have stayed more days. It is so peaceful and picturesque. We didn't have dinner here but we did have breakfast and it was superb! Staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was very nice but as I have reviewed other hotels and B&B's in Ireland, I wish they offered US to European electrical outlet converters. We did bring our own but as many US tourists that visit Ireland, this should be a standard practice. Other than that, beautiful hotel!!!

Really is a place to stay if you want the resort feel and not leave the property. For how expensive it is I was shocked there wasn't a free bus that would take you into town, the room also had a few issues (nothing huge) like the shower head was dropping off the holder so water just kind of spilled out and one of the outlets wouldn't let you even plug something in. Not a huge deal but at €220 euro a night, I would expect a little better. There is a €5 tray charge for breakfast room service but that's it so huge win there. I also got a massage which has to be one of the best of my life, especially the after care pampering with ice cream, a relaxing room and views of the bay. Tons to do on site for families and the staff was absolutely great.

Lovely setting
Was given a lovely corner room both windows over looking the lake. Room was excellent and facilities. Had food in the bar. Service wasnt the best, lack of training. Simple things like having to ask for cutlery for both starter and the main course had to get it myself for the main after it never arrived after asking for it. Drinks were left sitting on the bar for about 10mins before brought to the table.. they bring the food out from the kitchen and place it on a table for 5mins before serving it to the customers. Lots of little things. No sugar provided with coffee and it was spilt al round the saucer. Staff wer friendly just lack of propper training. Food was nice could of been warmer. But as i said it was left sitting on a tray before it was served.

Disappointing
Cant understand the recent 10/10 reviews. Property felt like a soleless business hotel. Lots of events taking place through the day attended by non-guests. Very busy feel between this and members to the spa. The room was clean, but the view of a roof and ventilation shafts not really what id expect of one of the nicer rooms. There was drilling work going on late into the evening. I had to go down to reception to resolve and was kept waiting roughly 45mins. The manager was very apologetic and comped us a bottle of wine which i really appreciated. But ultimately I wouldnt ever stay here again.
