Comfortable Stay with Excellent Amenities

comfortable bed dining credit

The evening meal provided was fine. The room was spacious and included a comfortable bed with fluffy towels. Breakfast offered a very good experience with many options. The hotel's 'clean the planet' initiative provides five euros dining credit for reducing laundry.

The pool area requires updates and repairs. The hot tub was out of order . Several tiles were missing around the pool and the water damaged swing seat was unsightly.

Location

9/10

The hotel is located close to town. It is easy to walk into town from the hotel premises. The Greenway is very close to the doorstep, awesome for easy access.

Service

I received a very warm welcome upon arrival. The staff were attentive and helpful in every area from check-in to breakfast. I left a garment in my room and the hotel posted it to my home address.

Rooms

My room featured a comfortable bed and nice fluffy towels. The hotel has a 'clean the planet, not my room offer' with 5 euros dining credit offered. This is a responsible effort regarding our current climate crisis.

Dining

10/10

The food was very good both at breakfast and in the restaurant. The evening meal was fine, especially after dining elsewhere. The wine was reasonably priced, a plus.
