Overall, an excellent hotel. The changes at the restaurant (it used to be Colson’s , now Dotties) are a little disappointing, mostly because of cheaper decor of plastic flowers and animal print cushions clashing with the otherwise elegant hotel furnishings. Have stayed at the Indigo several times.

We were very disappointed with our stay. We received a call the day we were due to arrive to say they didn’t have enough beds in our room for one of our children even though we booked in February. When we arrived they had managed to find an extra bed that they made up only to find it had no springs in it so was not usable. An employee offered us a free breakfast but this was also very disappointing. When we sat down we waited 20 minutes for someone to take a drinks order and then waited 40 minutes for two breakfasts. One of the breakfasts was very disappointing as it came with no salmon as stated and looked like it should have only taken a couple of minutes to cook. Also was woken at midnight by staff on the first night by staff emptying glass bottles right outside the window which went on for quite a while. Such a shame as our previous visits to the hotel were very good. We will probably stay elsewhere next time.
No springs in the bed we were given
This was supposed to be the eggs royale but with no salmon and a dry piece of toast supposed to be gluten free but told the hollandaise may contain traces.
This was the outside of our room at the back where all the noise came from at midnight

The room was ok a bit dusty in places. The Spa facilities were basic and again cleanliness was ok. There was a false eyelash and dirt next to the jacuzzi. There was a member of the bar staff that was excellent. Niamh knew her job very well and provided fantastic service.

Disappointed that we were not informed at check in that the boiler was broken and there was no hot water! It was only the next morning when we called reception to say we were unable to shower that we found out! Poorly managed and felt we should have been told. Realise now why we were served red wine in a champagne glass in the rooftop bar as they didn't have water to wash up! The automatic door in the main bar was also broken so was cold in there too! All of this was fixed on second day but should have been informed so it was our choice whether or not to stay!

When we arrived at the property all seemed well. We we're greeted by a friendly member of staff and even allowed to check in a little earlier. The room looked reasonably nice at first glance. The problems came overnight and the next morning, the room was very cold and there was no hot water for a shower. I reported this in the morning only to be told the boiler was broken and they haven't been able to fix it. That's fair enough (these things happen) but apparently this was known on our check in. I wanted to know why we weren't informed at any point until check out?. If we had been given the chance we would have asked for a refund and found alternative accommodation with heating and hot water. We recieved a 25% discount (and a cold shower)
