Great spot to explore Waterford

We stayed here 3 nights with our 3 month old. From the moment we arrived the staff were very cheerful and accommodating. We don't usually go for breakfast when away but as it was included we thought why not?! Breakfast was tasty, good variety of options especially as I'm a vegetarian. The staff set us up a table away from everyone with our baby where there was plenty of space for the pushchair, definite bonus. The family room was spacious, the beds comfy and the water in the shower hot. I've seen a few reviews who said it was cold - if that was the case I'd say they have resolved that, we had to turn our radiator down. It was great that we could alter the temperature and even open a window. The only let down was that they did not have fridges available for the rooms and my daughter's milk. However they did provide ice buckets and allow us to store things in their fridge downstairs. We ate dinner and lunch in the bar, the food was tasty and generous in size. Our only suggestion would be to stock 0.0 Guinness. Overall a great stay - particularly for a 3*. We would definitely stay again.
