Reviews and Ratings
The hotel's rooms were warm, with comfortable beds, spacious, and very clean, although they were a bit overcrowded. The service was lovely but seemed under a lot of pressure, yet very helpful and friendly with minimal organization visible. The location was very convenient, immaculate, situated in a pretty area close to sites outside of Dublin but not recommended if traffic is a concern. The dining experience was great with plenty to choose from but not impressive for the breakfast selection given the price. Overall, the hotel offers great facilities with beautiful grounds.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were beautiful, immaculate, and had a lovely view, perfect for a family. The service was extremely friendly, but there were some moments of delay. The location was spacious and comfortable, great for a leisurely stroll. The dining experience had some hiccups but overall satisfactory. The facilities were top-notch, offering great amenities.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were divine, cozy, and very comfortable, overlooking the gardens, but they were on the small side. The service was accommodating for our group of ten, but there were some hiccups, like not being informed about kitchen closing times. The location was very beautiful and well-groomed, offering easy access to a few good restaurants, but some facilities required additional fees unexpectedly. The dining experience was a hit or miss, with some dishes being average and others excellent.
The hotel's location is great for a stroll but noise from the terrace bar made sleep difficult. While my large double bed was comfortable, the newer building's noise level near my room affected my sleep quality. The staff were willing to go above and beyond to cater to my requests, ensuring a memorable stay.
Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience. While the rooms were spacious and clean, the inconvenience of constantly malfunctioning room cards was a hassle. The service was excellent with caring and efficient staff, but there were some issues with the menu and food quality. The location was beautiful, ideal for exploring County Meath, but there were some maintenance issues in the rooms. The dining experience was good overall, despite some minor shortcomings.
The hotel rooms were clean and comfortable with spacious accommodations for a family of four. The staff was friendly and attentive, although some improvements could be made in terms of security. The location, on the edge of a quaint town and within easy reach of Dublin City, was convenient. The dining experience varied from really good to disappointing, with a busy but helpful staff. Overall, the hotel offers a mix of positives and negatives to consider.
The hotel rooms were spacious and well-equipped with a comfortable bed, although a bit far from the lifts. The service provided lovely touches like personalized cookies and extra desserts, but there were issues with slow service and lack of sanitizing stations. The dining experience varied from slightly less impressive to excellent options, including a unique pancake machine. Overall, the facilities offered were modern and peaceful.
