Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was lovely, with spacious rooms and a beautiful view over the golf course, although I wish I had more time there. The service was exceptional, with staff always looking after us, but dinner felt a bit rushed at the Italian Restaurant. The location was stunning, offering a relaxing resort with plenty of activities, but there were some cleanliness issues in the room. The dining experience was basic and time-consuming. Overall, a wonderful stay with a few minor drawbacks.
The hotel was stunning, with large and impeccably clean rooms featuring a private walled garden and a luxurious marble bathroom with a crystal chandelier. The complimentary bubbly and strawberries were a lovely touch, but some aspects were slightly pricey.
The hotel was a hidden gem during our drive through the Irish countryside. The rooms were opulent and one of the nicest we stayed in, with the living room setup, serviced regularly, and even provided fresh milk. However, the dining experience fell short with poor quality and inadequate options. The location was brilliant, offering beautiful grounds for walking and hiking, although it was a bit wet and slippy in places.
The hotel offers exceptionally comfortable rooms with high-quality bedding for a perfect night's sleep, but the ongoing construction work outside the spa can be disruptive. The service is warm, welcoming, and goes above and beyond, although the loud noise from the construction can detract from the relaxation. The location is picturesque with friendly staff, but there could be more rules. The dining experience is fabulous with a varied menu, but some areas of the hotel felt too quiet and formal. Overall, a mixed experience with great comfort and service alongside potential disruptions.
The hotel was out of this world with superior rooms and a lovely breakfast each morning, but cleanliness was an issue with a dirty bath and stained bathrobes.
The hotel offers spacious rooms with a view of the course, which we look forward to experiencing soon. The rooms are huge at 900sq ft and beautifully maintained with lovely grounds around the hotel. The service was excellent, with staff striking a balance between professionalism and friendliness, although they were a bit under pressure at times. The location is gorgeous for walks and offers various dining options to suit different budgets. The dining choices were somewhat limited, but in general, good. The facilities are well-kept and include a range of amenities.
My stay at the hotel was truly exceptional. The rooms were not only very spacious but also exquisitely designed, making our experience there truly luxurious. The service was top-notch, with friendly and helpful staff making every interaction a pleasure. The location was simply magical, offering a peaceful atmosphere within walking distance of local amenities. However, the dining experience could have been improved, especially the breakfast options. Overall, a wonderful stay with excellent value for money.
