One unhappy experience at reception with an offhand and rude male receptionist. The hotel apologized and everything since then has been perfect, so much so that we added another night.. dining room staff went the extra mile and were thoughtful, helpful and friendly.

Breakfast buffet was complete with gluten free options and plant milk was available upon request. JOHN is the MAN. He welcomes you, keeps the restaurant and reception going, and even gave us a ride to Kinsale in hotel van. We would definitely go again. 👍
