Very good breakfast, safe parking on site

It was difficult to find the entrance to the carpark for the hotel. Safe parking with barrier entry. €10 per night. Restaurant was the only place to eat in the evening due to refurbishment. Food and service were excellent although a bit pricey The roof top bar was closed on the Wednesday night when we stayed Separate toilet and shower room ( no door on shower room ) which was handy. Lighting in shower room wasn't very bright, not good enough to put your make up on ! Selection of teas was limited to either green tea of earl grey. We felt that the pillows were too soft and there was no opportunity to change. Breakfast selection was extensive, we enjoyed our meal. Overall a good stay but could have been a bit better for the price

Unbelievable experience

This was our second time here. We felt so rested the room was so comfortable,. Everything was above expectation and didn't disappoint, I love the bed, slept like babies. My husband and I are tall people and we felt like ants in that bed. It was so damn comfortable and bathroom was so classy with everything you need and everything was of good quality not the dry stuff that leaves your skin itching. The staff was lovely and the restaurant had a lot of options on offer for all meals.one of the best burgers I've had and pheasant breast and the beef stew thingy was yum. Will go back if I can again. Great experience

This place was beyond my expectations. The staff was lovely, I had a comfortable quiet sleep in my lovely hotel room as The bed was like a cloud and spacious. The decor just helped with the ambience of the place. Plus having sparkly upon arrival and at breakfast was a lovely treat and the best part was it didn't break my pocket.
