As previously told, Expedia advertising for this property was not correct. Everything had additional costs. Food was not outstanding. Room was not a luxury hotel room. Initial staff greeting was cold and rude.

Tired rooms need TLC
Lovely location but hotel rooms are getting really tired, worn and neglected. Public areas are very fresh so pity about the room. Lighting is woefully inadequate in the room with no light on work desk. Wifi is very fast so that is reflected in the rating. Hope the management take note. Had very good experience before Covid on a previous stay.

Our stay here was our last night after over a week of driving around Ireland and we needed a nice restful/peaceful place and this was it. Also got to meet some of my Irish relatives who stopped by and had drinks and dinner with us. Thanks everyone.
