    Very poor breakfast management. We were booked in for breakfast at 8.15 but on arrival at 8.13 the dining room was closed and a queue of about 30 people were waiting to go in. When it was opened just after 8.15 by 3 young girls who looked intimidated and overwhelmed by the experience. Despite it being a lovely day outside the room was very cold . I felt very sorry for the three very young looking staff members who appeared to be frightened and very poorly trained . The food was ok apart from poor quality cereals There was a hot buffet breakfast available however unfortunately with a very slow toasting facility breakfast was cold by the time you made your way back to the table. This was a pity because the quality was good.

    The bedroom was very comfortable with a lovely view. Apart from very little milk provided for a cup of tea it had everything that was needed with a good shower . The room decor was tasteful and relaxing

    Breakfast - We ordered porridge for our little daughter which arrived after an hour and after asking for three times and tasted like burnt. Room - the dustbins do not have inner bins and wasn't clean.

    View is amazing

    Hotel very outdated, price didn't reflect in what we expect but was ok overall due to short time booking. But, the breakfast was an absolute disasters: no fruits ( only as a fruit salat) i would love a banana or maybe an apple, no pastries at all not even scones.Bacon, eggs and sausage was the option( not sure if i saw any beans) but there were cold like not even warm. To see the staff with orange juice jug( the same for guests)pouring not one glass but two and drink well, don't think this looks professional. Very poor breakfast and unprofessional staff.

    Hotel was clean, the staff when we arrived in the evening was very good and professional.

    The price would suggest it's upmarket, but everything else says not. Food in the restaurant was poor. Room was small. Outside areas were, frankly, shabby. At 07:15 the main entrance was still locked so a walk before breakfast (not available until 08:15) wasn't easy!

    Gorgeous surroundings

    Short staffed, but early season May 15 - 17. No one on staff who was familiar with the area. Primarily focused on tour groups.

    Charming, quaint, located right on the Wicklow Way. large Irish breakfasts. An older building but everything functioned. Quiet location. at the end of the road so nearest town is a half hour walk away. Best to have a vehicle, we did not. Short walk to historic monastic center, well preserved. Ten minutes to National Park info center and trails map. We walked 30 minutes to Lynhams Pub in Laragh for excellent pub dinners and atmosphere.

    As friendly as the staff were they were a bit slow at times. Front desk was missing a lot of the time and had to wait a good while for assistance. Perhaps under-staffed? Pay your workers more. Our key cards stopped working at one point. One of our restaurant orders went missing but was quickly rectified.

    Staff were friendly and helpful. A lot of places to see not too far away.
