Hotel has a lot to offer but there things to improve on. We had a meal in the bar/bistro area which was disappointing. The Buffet Breakfast was excellent.

Would say that the hotel is excellent in general,food in particular was very good. Rooms were fine and location is very good. The one flaw is the service which was decent in the restaurant but terrible in the bar. Staff were slow and inattentive.

Nice hotel but not very clean. Carpets need shampooing, cushions were dirty, upholstery on chairs need to be cleaned. Dishes were dirty. Food at dinner was not great, chips were re-heats (another customer also sent theirs back), pizza overdone.

Food is generally very good. Hotel is clean. Pool is well managed and not too packed. 25 minutes from Kilkenny too which is a plus. The hotel has a lovely area for dining outside, impressive decking area.
