Very comfortable, atmospheric hotel. Good breakfast in lovely surroundings
Negative:
My tiny teacup dog cost €50 to stay. She is non-shedding and very clean. I was told the room would need a 'deep clean' after her!!! Disappointing

The bed was unbelievably comfortable; the moment you lay down, you sank into the mattress as it molded perfectly to every curve of your body.

The fan wasn't working in the bathroom.

The room was lovely, the food was excellent! (lunch, dinner & breakfast) and the staff individually couldn't have been more attentive, but the service was a little uncordinated, slightly more coordination / management of staff & the staff rating would be a 10 out of 10 too.... Would we go back, 100%
