Great modern hotel in a very small town off of the highway. We decided to stay somewhere outside of Dublin after visiting Dublin for a couple of days on our way further south to the Ireland coast. This was a perfect place for that. This was a perfect hotel for that. It was a very large facility with a great morning breakfast and a nice onsite bar and restaurant. Would definitely recommend this place when exploring the countryside in the area.

This is the prettiest hotel I have ever stayed in. There is restaurant/bar attached, so good. I think there is a buffet before 3 pm especially on the weekends. So much food. Breakfast, continental every day, some days full. Always delicious. Its hosts so many functions. It seems like there is always a wedding there.
Front of hotel, lots of parking

So sad. The hotel itself was gorgeous, but the staff was fairly rude and not accommodating. Our tv in one room was broken and they did send help to try and fix it but it’s something that should have been checked before we got to our room. The second room we had the WiFi was not working. If you are an American I would highly recommend you do NOT stay here. We ourselves just did not have a good experience and did not feel welcomed whatsoever. So my review reflects as such.

The layout was weird, so that we had to lug our bags down/up stairs even after taking the elevator. Serious problem for anyone with mobility issues.
