Food in the hotel restaurant was excellent. Only issue was room temperature was too warm and we couldn’t get the heat turned off. Staff did try to resolve issue. They were helpful; brought us a fan, which helped.

Great value. Nice hotel.

The staff were all friendly and helpful. The pool had plenty of space and has family changing rooms. The bar food was lovely. The room was so hot but during the night i went to reception and the porter gave me 2 fans so we all slept well after that.

This property was gorgeous. Staff was super friendly and breakfast was amazing. Only reason for the 4 stars and not 5 is there was no AC in the rooms and our room was a dead zone for the internet. I would definitely stay again though.

The check in was easy and staff friendly. One thing that their website does not state is, if you want to use their pool you mandatorily need a hair cap. If you dont have one, you can buy one from a few Euros. The breakfast buffet was sub par, but the staff was excellent. I would like to call out Detty, she was exceptional and made our breakfast experience 10times better!

A lovely hotel ,kids were made feel welcome with an arrival pack and ice cream ! Hotel rooms clean but bland ,need some colour .. Only downfall ,went to the bar about 7pm for a bite to eat to be turned away as no reservation, no attempt to provide us with an alternative ,hence had to drive into Athenry to get some dinner.

Great hotel with lovely helpful staff.

The Hotel was great, the staff were great. Overall a great experience. My whole family stayed here with me. We had booked in advance, and it happened to be when there was a very serious storm in Ireland, so we were without power at home, and the hotel had no power, but their generator was working, so they still accepted us, which was great. Couldn't fault the staff, they were all excellent. The pool wasn't open, which is understandable when there is no power, which was a minor disappointment for the kids, but we all still had a great time.
