8/10 Very good

The view from our room was amazing. The workers were polite and friendly. The elevator was broken for our stay and we had use the stairs. My wife is handicapped and this was difficult on her.
Joseph, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This was a charming place. Pretty popular with the locals as well for the food and drinks. The staff were very pleasant, helpful and friendly but seemed to be a little overwhelmed because of guest, locals and a wedding going on. We stayed in 8 properties on our holiday. I would definitely recommend this property. The scenery is stunning, you have a view of the maidens as well as Scotland. The property itself was fun to explore, but what Castle isn't. One of my favorite things was the laundry service 😀 on a very long trip.

Get AC please! Room hot even with fan No TV stations worth watching…Get cable or streaming OR get Smart TVs
Erwin, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

The staff was amazing, very courteous and on top of things. The room had an amazing view. Thats where it ends. The beds were super dated and so were the rooms. The bedding was non existent. Also had dinner and breakfast at the hotel, possibly the 2nd worse meal I had the entire time I was traveling thru ireland. The menu was lacking and the Irish roast was disgusting, couldn't make it thru more than 2 bites. But the staff was exceptional and the location beautiful.

Needs to adjust prices for room facilities

Nice hotel with a great setting. Staff were fantastic and are a credit to the hotel. My only gripe is with the rooms. Some have been refurbished and some haven’t yet they charge the same price. I requested a room with a walk-in shower. Some rooms have bathtubs that you need to step into with a sheet head. When I asked to switch rooms it was like night and day. I had a smart tv with all of the apps like Netflix, BBC iPlayer etc etc but the one without the walk-in shower had an older basic tv. They charge the same price but some rooms have better facilities so be careful. My cousin was staying with me but had a different room and didn’t have the smart tv etc yet the room was the same price
Scott, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The room was clean and modern and also with a walk in shower bathroom. The staff at reception were most welcoming, the bar staff were a bit slow but they were dealing with foreign guests who were unfamiliar with the local currency. Parking was across a main road from the hotel but it is not too busy for crossing to the hotel. The car park can fill up at times so your not always guaranteed a space. Overall, I would rate the hotel as excellent for business or pleasure.
Daniel, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Lovely hotel. Very grand. However, I felt as though the lady checking us in at the desk couldn’t care less. There was no welcome, and no greeting. She seemed annoyed by the whole thing. The room was lovely but stifling. The radiator controls were meaningless. Opening the window resulted in a strong odor of frying grease filling the room as the window opened out to the kitchen roof and exhaust vents.
Julian, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel was amazing, the ghosts room was fun if not a tight squeeze. Food and drink are amazing, several local products. Parking is opposite the hotel and from what I can see was safe
