The place needs some updates... The Jacuzzi and swimming pool give the 5.. the rooms are big but old.
First room we were put into (316) was quite loud with some kind of pump or fan running, probably from the leisure centre or ballroom below. Thankfully, the staff were quick to set us up in a new room (506) which was very quiet and comfortable.
The access to the pool and gym and hot tubs was lovely but the meal in the pub was pretty ordinary.
Overall though, we enjoyed our stay and would likely return.
Beautiful as always. Have stayed a few time before making way from Aberdeen to Cork. Nice stop off on way there or back. Wish had more time as a lovely spot, great spa and amenities for everyone, especially kids. Best of all the gardens. Looking fantastic as ever.
The reception staff and breakfast staff were friendly and very helpful

We got a very warm welcome from Roisin at reception. The staff are extremely helpful and friendly. Unfortunately our room was not what i expected small and very dark 😕. Not quite the romantic getaway we had wanted .
I had a lovely stay here. The room was nice and had a stunning view of the adjacent mountain.
The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly and check in was fast.
The restaurant had a good range of food and drink, so my evening meal was enjoyable.
The leisure facilities included with the stay were great. The outdoor jacuzzi was a particular highlight.
Breakfast was good. Whilst I personally prefer a self-serve hot counter, service was quick and the quality of ingredients was very high.
The property isn’t modern, but it is clean and charming.
You’ll need to drive to get to anywhere away from the hotel, but you shouldn’t need to go anywhere as the hotel has all you need (there’s a petrol station just next door if needed)
I’d certainly stay here again
easily the best staff in the country (or island of irland ). front of house are so pleaseant and efficent, bar restaruant are very friendly and take time to make sure youre best looked after. any minor issues always dealt with amazingly well .

Room service staff were rude and the corridor outside my room smelt of cigarette smoke in the morning. Also, there was someone smoking pot in the car park at 7am on Sunday morning. Horrible experience. Breakfast staff were top notch tho as was the food so not all bad!

Windowless room but otherwise nice
Room was smart, but didn’t have any windows aside from a small very high velux.
Don’t think I’ve ever seen this before in a hotel room, felt very claustrophobic. Room seemed to really fluctuate in temperature as the aircon kicked in and out. I’d say it was quite pricey for a windowless room. I’m surprised no other reviews seem to mention it.
Quite a strange setup having to cross the road from the main hotel to get to the room but no big deal.
Staff were otherwise very nice and the food was good. But won’t go back just for fear of getting another windowless room.
