We were celebrating a birthday and decided to treat ourselves to an overnight stay. We had told them about the reason behind our stay beforehand and we really appreciate the extra attention to detail and little treats left in our room from the staff. Excellent service from all and lovely breakfast which we decided to enjoy in our room.
United KingdomHotel lovely welcome was very pleasant Kim at reception was extremely helpful knowledgeable and extremely pleasant . In the light of Covid measures was very reassuring hotel was immaculate. Birthday treat which was acknowledged with cake balloons and a card . Am sure this was down to Kim at reception which exceeded our expectations

IrelandVery friendly staff, great service all round, room really nice, clean and comfortable. Spa is small and a bit crowded but fine if you don’t mind waiting a bit. Had half facial, half body scrub treatment which was excellent. Lunch at Galvin restaurant was very enjoyable with excellent service again. Will certainly stay there again.
United KingdomThe bed and pillows were so comfortable and the mirror in the bathroom was completely heated therefore, when we both have a shower it didn’t steam up. The staff are so friendly and accommodating, we will most certainly be returning. The highlight of our experience was the fact we were upgraded upon arrival, the room was luxurious had robes and slippers.
