Beautiful relaxing stay!
Our stay was lovely we did have a fantastic time the hotel was beautiful and the pool was so lovely to relax in with a hot tub, steam room and sauna. We visited in December and the temperature of the pool was a little chilly but it was absolutely fine. We also only had one dinner which was in the restaurant, at the time of visiting there were renovations happening so it was the only restaurant available. I have a few allergies so the options were very limited but I managed to get something and it tasted amazing.

Breakfast was excellent. Poor value overall.

Only shame about the stay was that i couldn't be around for longer. Only stayed one night, but completely faultless, rooms were lovely, with great beds and pillows. Staff were friendly and helpful and super breakfast. Will definitely stay again when in the area, and hopefully for longer next time! Thanks

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!!!
