location and accomodation were excellent however near by amenities were non-exisitant. breakfast was satisfactory but our 1st evening meal was over-priced and poor quality.

We booked an executive room for a two night stay as a treat in late August. As we arrived in a downpour (typical Irish weather) we went to turn the radiator on in our room, to no avail. We mentioned this to the receptionist who told us she would look into it, and yet two hours later we had still... more
