Reviews and Ratings
I found the hotel nestled at the bottom of an alley, providing a cozy atmosphere but lacking in expansive views. The rooms, although slightly small, were surprisingly comfortable. The service exceeded expectations, with the staff going above and beyond to ensure a memorable stay. The location, just outside the main grounds, had its charm but could use some improvements. The dining experience was a mix of delightful and disappointing moments. Overall, a unique stay with room for enhancement.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was fabulous, nestled in a quiet and peaceful village, but there were some noise disturbances from the adjacent garden. The rooms, unfortunately, were small and not in the best condition, with noisy hot water cylinders nearby. The service was a mix of excellence from the staff alongside some awkwardness from the manager. Dining left much to be desired with overpriced and disappointing breakfast options.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The room was not ideal, being small and located next to a noisy heating hot water cylinder. However, the staff were very helpful and friendly. The surrounding area was beautiful, with a fascinating history as a former rail station, but there was some noise from the garden. The dining experience was a bit of a letdown with overpriced and poorly cooked breakfast, yet the steaks were good.
The hotel's 'townhouses' offered clean and comfortable rooms, but they were quite small for the price. The management was informed of issues. The exhausted Sunday evening service was fantastic, except for management mishaps. The location in Dublin's quiet village was fabulous, with stunning grounds but noise near the garden. Dining featured a mix of burnt and delightful dishes, serving one of the best meals in the country. The facilities were well-equipped but had some drawbacks.
The hotel was a mix of fabulous and quite small but offered value for money. The rooms looked so fab and clean, and the shower, bath, and bed were pretty comfortable. However, the room was small with only a roof window.
