I had quite a mixed experience at this hotel. On one hand, the recent refurbishments made for a beautiful reception and clean, spacious rooms. The dining was exceptional on the first night with one of the best burgers I've had. On the other hand, I found issues with the location as it's quite far from Dublin and the breakfast juices were of poor quality. Overall, it offers good value for money, but I was disappointed in the family amenities, which felt lacking for what I expected.
