September/2008 Someone from Ireland thinks:

• Overall rating: 4.7
• Would you recommend it? No
• Positive: The location was about the only thing.
• Negative: This was a trip for my parents it was a very special trip. I had read previous reviews stating that the staff would really look after you if it was a special occasion. I e-mailed the hotel to mention this and phoned. Not even a complimentary bottle of wine was given to my parents. I specified a room with a view, I don%27t think there was even a window in the room. Breakfast is far to expensive. Shower was never cleaned or the glass around it. Glasses for rinsing your mouth out were never washed. My parents had to go and buy soap as it was never replaced. I am very disappointed with this hotel. If I were going myself I would stay somewhere else.
