    I thought long and hard about how best to describe the architecture of this place. In the end I settled on 'Neo-gothic internationalism disneyesque'. Meaning is has elements of turrents and towers, it's modern, but it could be found anywhere on the planet.

    It is set in beautiful grounds, often used for wedding photographs - including my own !

    Although I might be a little biased here, as it was where I spent my first night of marital bliss (I had to insert that bit), it is a very fine three-star hotel.

    It has great facilities, smart-ish rooms and is trying hard to attract families. It even puts on special weeks with good deals available, and entertainment put on for the little treasures.

    The hotel now also features a spa and a good sized leisure club.

    Tranquil setting, the approach road to the hotel makes for a real entrance - roll out the red carpet.

  • This hotel is like luxury resort meets Motel 6. We were in the new wing, which is very cheaply constructed for the price level. At over 160 Euros, I don't expect to find linoleum flooring in the bedroom. The layout is bizzare in the extreme. Rooms on the first floor can only be reached by climbing the stairs (no lift), walking down a hall and then taking the lift back down to the first floor.
    Abominable food service, which started with a waitress dropping a whole tray of drinks on the people at a nearby table, continued with a (different) server who didn't know what beer they had (come one. It's Ireland and you don't know if you have Harp's? The bar is five steps behind her.) and it kept going down from there. I had to restrain my wife from shouting at the manager by the end.

    Large property, great parking, horses nearby, quiet.
    There are spa services, but workout facilities.
