Room was clean and decorated well. Good shower nice warm water and room was at a good temperature too. The hotel was decorated well for Christmas as well with several Christmas trees dotted about the communal areas. Pool facilities were very good and kept clean and tidy. Breakfast was very nice as well with a good selection to choose from. Hotel itself is very picturesque.
James, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The hotel grounds and room were beautiful, reception and spa staff were friendly but breakfast staff not so much. Spa facilities were decent, though the steam room and swimsuit dryer were out of order. Breakfast had a good selection of foods, though some of it was lukewarm and it took around 30 mins and an additional request to have coffee brought to the table. There were oddly a lot of crumbs down the side of the upholstery at breakfast.

10/10 Exceptional

I chose this spot for its proximity to Slieve Donard, it was so close.. way closer than I expected. I loved the location and how it’s nestled off to the side but still in town so you can walk. You are right on the water and there are paths everywhere to get you where you want to go.

4/10 Fair

Leaking toilet in our room on arrival. A dirty tray from room service with left over food on it sat outside a guest’s room from our arrival at 3pm until 11am the next day despite our raising this twice with reception. Poor quality towels in our room. The spa area ran out of towels for guests to use. Spa was generally untidy, with cups and used towels lying about.
