    It was a fair distance outside of the city

    We loved our meal at the Pullman restaurant and breakfast at the hotel restaurant. The room was beautiful and big, but a little stark.

    This hotel is a gem! I really liked how they have transformed the old chapel. I liked the view from the breakfast room. The decoration of the common spaces, the kindness of the personnel.

    I didn’t like the fact they didn’t have pool/jacuzzi facilities which would be expected from a 5 star hotel

    I loved the opulent feel of the hotel, was very luxurious. The location was really good and the grounds of the hotel itself gorgeous. I loved how the we had turn down service every evening. The breakfast selection was also really good. all staff were very attentive and accommodating.

    We did a suite and the mattress was underwhelming, not a good night sleep both nights.

    The hospitality was next level, their staff is the very best I've ever seen! Literally the best hotel experience we've ever had and it was due to the bellmen and reception. AS GOOD AS IT GETS...

    the property itself was amazing but it was the type of guests at this property that I did not enjoy. I am a young female and I often felt some uncomfortable glares from the guests, maybe wondering how I could afford to stay in such a place. there was some “snobbery” so I did not enjoy hanging around the facility as much. I have stayed at other 5 star hotels in ireland but the guests are more “mixed” and it becomes more enjoyable. If you are someone who enjoys socializing, I’m not sure if this is the hotel for you.

    the staff definitely always make a property for me, personally. very kind and friendly staff. I like when staff engage with who you are/where you come from, etc. rather than just grabbing your money and sending you off to your room. the staff here were amazing and very helpful. even when I didn’t want help, for example, with my bags, they insist.

    It would be nice if it had a pool but we knew this before we arrived. Also the queue for breakfast can take some time if you arrive down after 9am but again the service and food are worth it.

    The hotel is lovely and the adjacent Palmers bar was perfect to watch the rugby on a large selection of large TV screens whilst partaking in the excellent food for lunch. If you are not dining in the exquisite Pulmans carriage restaurant then evening menu will be the same as lunch but still very good. The cocktail lounge and piano bars were a great place to relax pre or post dinner and through out our stay the staff could not have been any more friendly or helpful. I also would highly recommend the deep tissue massage in the Spa with special mention for Katerina who was brilliant. Outside there is a golf course with fabulous views and if you don't want to play golf it makes for a lovely walk. You have to dine at least one night in the infamous Pulmans restaurant just to experience the fine dining and unique ambience.
