It was nice to get somewhere that was a bit more quiet with modern conveniences and some privacy. The rooms were clean. The staff was awesome. And the underground parking was highly appreciated.

The service in the restaurant was terrible and the food was sub-par. The steak was well done and no one came to check if we needed anything. Continuously had to ask for another pint/beverage, water, ect. Asked for 2 different desserts before our main course was serviced, she ignored the apple crumb request and brought us something completely different. Will not return.

We stayed here 10 years ago and before that I had the opportunity to dine in their restaurant well…read morebefore the TV show made it famous. To be fair it was always famous at least to any foodie. We had a lovely lakeside sure. All rooms named after wine and each have a bottle in the room to maintain the theme. The room was spacious with large bedroom, bathroom and a decked balcony overlooking the lough. With such a lovely room and friendly greeting by reception who escorted us to our room it is hard to find faults. You can hire BMW bikes if you are so inclined which is complimentary. Also 2 hot tubs and a spa. We had our table booked for 7.30 but had a drink before in the Bollinger Lounge before hand. the measures of wine for a glass are very generous. The seafood platter and accompanying bread was the best of the courses I had. The salmon was just slightly over but rested on very tasty crushed potatoes. The wine list isn't as extensive but certainly hits the right areas. we were seated at a table overlooking the lough and great views of the sun set. Breakfast in the morning can be enjoyed in the restaurant or they will bring to your room for no extra cost. we decided take it in our room. Is the wineport the same as 10 years ago? probably not, I think subtle changes have taken place and some of the focus moved from the food and wine to a more crowd pleasing menu. This I think is unfortunate. I had to give a 5 due to staff,room,location and my overall enjoyment

Other then this we had a lovely dinner in the restaurant, and left for our room just before the band was ready to start the music; so we missed this.

Great pool & spa area. The main part of the hotel is starting to look really dated at this point…read more They have a new floor to ceiling glass wall bedroom wing that's supposed to be gorgeous but I didn't stay in that part so can't comment. The food in the bar is dreadful & the fine dining area was too expensive for a family to use. Unfortunately when we were there a sharp piece of plastic ended up in my daughter's ice cream & they had a fire drill for staff without telling any guests on the third floor which meant a relative in her late sixties with a very bad hip & back had to defend three stories by stairs with everyone else only to be told when she got there that there was no need to. Frightened the kids too. A request for a pitcher of water to be sent to a room at 10.45 arrived at 12.15 after two calls down to reception. Slight touch of fawlty towers going on. Free wifi that sometimes works in the rooms. Not the best of experiences. I'd love to rate it higher, unfortunately can't.
