Chris

Superb stay here for a couple of nights in October. The grounds are very nice and the location is close to Sneem which Is ok to venture in to check out in an evening for a dinner/drink. The best Negronis I’ve ever tasted in the bar in the hotel but A bit short staffed at times. The room was very comfortable. If I had one complaint it would be the breakfast was average and needs improving to match the rest of the stay.

A short but memorable stay...enjoyed delicious food in Doolittle bar with cocktail 🍸 and music. Room while small was very adequate and staff are truly amazing. Breakfast options are simply amazing. Hotel was extremely busy but every guest matters. The Infinity pool is truly a wonderful way to both start and end the day.

We had a lovely stay for my Fiancé's birthday. Service was outstanding- especially Igor in the restaurant he always had a big smile and made us feel very welcome. There was plenty of relaxing activities available at the hotel and in such a scenic setting. We loved the spa and infinity pool
