Nice hotel. Some long corridor treks, with corridors only of domestic widths, about 3' or a metre. Meeting a childs buggy while pulling a case required some dodging, only one lift at one end of the building, so going from the pool at the other end was either walk the stairs at that end up, or trek all the way back to the lift, then the same journey back to your room if at the pool end of your floor. Food in bar good, great choice too. View over the enclosed inlet is fun, like a sizable lake that emptys out completely on low tide, then you can watch it actually fill again from the rising tide and the river Slaney
Rooms very well fitted, but no AC or powered ventilation would be a worry in very warm weather, rooms all south east facing, ours was really warm on a 23° day. Fortunately I know how to disengage the window safety latch wide open.No fridge so bring your powered cooler box. Breakfast good, but has that buffet breakfast issue where a lage amount of breakfast goods are cooked very early and then sit in large heated Bain Maries. If you arrive for a late Breakfast, 9.30 or after, bacon, puddings, fried potatoe cubes were all dried out. Cook a little and often, better to have to ask staff to refill a small dish than eat dried out goods. Coffee was also made in advance in huge Roberts filter coffee urns on a hot plate. By 9.45 it was bitter and unpalatable. Replace these relics with 3 or 4 bean to cup machines. Fresh and waste free. Staff excellent.
