    We had a special roast lunch on Sunday. Table was battered and did not have a tablecloth. Poor for the overall standard proffered by the property. It was to host guests and disappointing.

    Nothing - we had an amazing stay.

    Had a lovely stay here celebrating our 15th wedding anniversary. The hotel had left a throughful card and cupcakes wishing us a happy anniversary - thoughtful detail that meant alot. The staff were all so helpful and friendly, lovely atmosphere from check in to check out. Our room was spacious, comfortable and had stunning views. We are early risers and breakfast is served from 6.30am, we loved the quality and variety of the breakfast. We took a walk up Slieve Donard and thoroughly appreciated the spa afterwards :) Location is amazing! Had a beautiful evening meal at percy french restaurant within the grounds of the hotel.

    Perhaps the plants in the JJ Farrell Restuarant could be moved more distant from tables to enable more comfortable and ease of seating.

    Decor very much in keeping with the style of the building. Of course, for location it is perfect. All staff were very welcoming and helpful.

    When we went for breakfast at 8am . We asked for tea and coffee once we where seated . They forgot and we had to ask 15 mins later . The potato bread and soda bread where like rubber and the poached eggs were hard as they set them in a heater instead of making them fresh to order

    The room was lovely and the staff where amazing . The pool and sauna excellent and great jacuzzi looking over the mountain .

    The spa was very dirty when we went. There were parts of the fountain flowing into the pool that were broken. Sauna wasn’t hot at all. Seems like it needs some TLC and updating

    The decor of the hotel and the beds were comfortable.

    The staff especially the receptionists were really welcoming and polite. We went here for 1 night for my partners birthday. On arrival to the room we were greeted with some cupcakes and a happy birthday note which was a really lovely, personal and unexpected touch! We loved the swimming facilities and made good use of them, we also enjoyed some cocktails in the bar which were delicious 🙌 our room had a great view and overall our experience was fabulous! Thank you to all the staff, will definitely have to come back again.

    Pool/Sauna set up needs reevaluated. It's a race to get a lounger as they are very limited. A lot of people "reserving" beds with towels etc even though it says on numerous signs around the pool this isn't allowed. Breakfast was tasty however a bit cold. Rooms were very hot and hard to regulate the temperature. Air con was very dusty so was reluctant to turn it on.

    Lovely hotel and staff. Room was very spacious and they gave my partner a treat for her birthday which was a good touch!
