The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Delicious Wedding Meal

The wedding meal served at the hotel was truly really good. Each course was beautifully presented and surprisingly delicious, definitely one of the highlights of our stay. The theatricals during the meal were a lovely touch that made it even more nice.

Fantastic Pool Experience

The pool area was simply fantastic! The water was warm and inviting, making it perfect for the kids to enjoy after spending a long day at Tayto Park. The family-friendly atmosphere and provided towels were a huge plus, making it a hassle-free experience.

Spacious Family Room

Our family room was impressively spacious, accommodating all our needs comfortably. The air conditioning provided a refreshing break after our day out, and the ample storage for our belongings was much appreciated during our stay.

Thoughtful Breakfast Touch

We appreciated the thoughtful gesture of only being charged for two adult breakfasts since our kids barely touched their meals. This small act made our dining experience feel special and personal, enhancing our overall stay at the hotel.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were spacious and clean, but I encountered some issues with broken bedding and inadequate toiletries. The staff was friendly and efficient, making my check-in smooth. Unfortunately, the dining situation was quite disappointing, with a lack of selection and poor quality at meals. The pool area desperately needs maintenance, which contributed to an overall underwhelming visit.

Our family had a pleasant stay at the hotel, with the location being ideal for visits to Tayto Park. The large room was comfortable, but it had some quirks, such as the bedding not being suitable for those with allergies. The dining options were tasty, especially the breakfast, and the staff went above and beyond to assist us, including providing complimentary breakfasts for our children. However, we faced noise issues early in the morning, which disrupted our sleep and left us feeling less rested than we'd hoped.

Our stay was a mixed bag. The room had a lovely view over the Irish countryside and was spacious, but we faced a few issues like the heating not working. The service was hit or miss; while some staff were exceptional, others seemed indifferent. Dining had its highs and lows, with good food but an unfortunate experience with one dish. Overall, the hotel had potential, but there were certainly improvement areas that need attention.
