My booking was made 10 months in advance for four twin rooms, on arrival all rooms had double beds with one pull down bed made up in one room. When I raised a complaint I was offered a complimentary breakfast for our last morning which we already had in our booking. I told the manager we had paid £160 for breakfast on our arrival day and asked for that to be reimbursed but he said this wasn’t possible??? He then offered complimentary drinks which I accepted but when we redeemed this later that evening we were offered only four drinks!! The hotel itself is excellent but our stay was not what we had expected due to the poor attitude from staff to a problem created by the hotel

Hotel was good, clean, modern room. It’s the Food and Beverage that is a problem. Sat for 25 minutes on my own in the restaurant first night after being shown to a table, then someone came up and asked me to move. Not to take an order or give a menu, move. Breakfast is aggressively cleared, as in the server is reaching over you to take a cup while you are eating. You stand up to get a coffee - table cleared. Asked for a non dairy butter, was told no, it’s Kerrygold in Ireland. But they have a gluten free table! Breakfast choice was good, and fresh, the f&b service is not good tho. Pub next door got my dinner business both nights and their food was lovely.
