The staff at the hotel were friendly, warm and helpful. The grounds around the hotel were beautiful and enjoyable to walk. The food was tasty, nutritious and well-presented. The hotel was clean and nicely decorated. As far as Europe is concerned, the rooms were large and beds super comfy. The only disadvantage was the distance to get to Dublin or anywhere by car or bus. The traffic into Dublin is heavy at rush hours so it was 80 Euros to come by cab if you don’t have a car. And…if you come by bud it’s about a 3 km hike i n to the hotel with your luggage

We loved the spa and the front desk staff were very friendly and helpful. They arranged for our taxi to the airport for us which was very much appreciated. The food in the cafe area was very good and service was great. Would highly recommend this facility to others.

Great hotel! Location was a 40-50€ taxi to airport. The only downside was it took around an hour to get to dublin city center. the buses stop running around midnight/1 so if you are going to bars late in dublin, it is not ideal. but the hotel itself was very nice and the area around it felt safe. i would consider it luxary

Lovely setting, easy going staff, we didn’t use the Spa as we thought it was a bit expensive for us, nothing stood out as exceptional, it was just really chilled. Easy 5 min walk into the village centre for a wander, there's a big Spa so you can stock up on picnicky stuff for your room or days out, or wine/beer to take back to your room, plus a couple of Takeaways and we tried 2 of the 3 pubs too, both had a great and friendly atmosphere.

Upon arrival the property looks really nice. The reception area is modern and clean. We had a good checkin experience although weren’t informed of check out times, where to have breakfast and other facilities. With 2 young boys and a long commute we just wanted to get to our room. We were in a family room which we had to amend to at a late stage. The hotel were accommodating and looked after this. We had room 433 which if I’m honest was pretty disappointing for the price. The room was cold and uninviting the furniture was tired and marked. The throw on the main bed had a massive stain on it and there was a few pieces of rubbish that hadn’t been removed. The room was adequate but definitely not luxurious. We ate in the Terrace lounge and they made an error with our dinner reservation and ended up moving a few times but we were offered complimentary drinks whilst we waited. The food in the Terrace was delicious both for adults and kids. The atmosphere for a Friday night was relaxed with just low background music and no TV’s. Breakfast the next morning was also very tasty and had more than enough selection for all tastes. We didn’t use the Spa facilities as there was an additional cost and also you had to be over 16. In summary Nice Hotel, great food, pity about the rooms.

Nice
Hotel was lovely, staff were all very pleasant and felt like good value generally. Food was okay, nothing mind blowing but nothing to complain about either. Restaurant staff forget drinks a number of times and left us waiting for menus and ordering for quite some time.
