Pretty much everything! Our room was very comfortable and well-appointed. We were happy that the hotel had air conditioning, not every hotel in Ireland does. Pleasantly surprised by there being an American outlet, as well as a European outlet, in the room--both were useful in charging our electronics. We ate dinner at the lounge, the food was great!

The rooms are beautiful and quiet, the beds are super comfy, the staff are all wonderful, very friendly and accommodating. We came to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary and they made us feel very special indeed. We had a lovely delicious dinner at Fahrenheit Restaurant and Marcus looked after us, he was wonderful, personable and professional. The decor everywhere in castle is absolutely stunning!!This is a must stay place for everyone!!

The rooms were typical hotel rooms, we had 2 rooms with 2 - twin beds in each. There were lots of restaurants and the water within a short distance. Downtown Dublin was only 15-20 minutes driving. The staff here were all very lovely.
