the suite was big, having two rooms and A bath and a half. all accommodations were large and beautiful. the staff approaches you, asking if you need help and they really mean it.
i arrived early and my mother's room was ready, which I appreciated. check in service was slow and disorganised. this wasnt what would usually be expected from a 5 STAR hotel.

Luxurious Stay with Minor Service Hiccups

The hotel has wonderful grounds, perfect for a walk. My room was a generous size, very clean, and had a comfortable bed (I slept well!). I enjoyed a glass of prosecco in the Lough Bar. The views and friendly service from Chey were great.

The breakfast buffet included a wide choice, from classic Irish to continental options. The Cultra Inn provided better service and delicious food. The service was efficient and quick (especially after the minor issues at the hotel bar).
