  : This was a very big house overlooking the bay with beautifully kept gardens and very clean interior. The young ladies we saw working during breakfast were immaculate.
  : The house was very dated and there was no Irish Hospitality. We tried to get a cup of tea on the first day and were told to go to our room and make it as it was free that way. We wanted to sit in the bar and do some work so got one drink instead. Two ladies also came into the bar and asked for tea also to which they got the same answer. The bar was freezing as was our room so we had to go down and ask for the heating to be turned on. Which it was and for the rest of our two night stay the room was cosy. We did not go back into the bar as we did not find it very inviting. The breakfast was fine, bar the muesli which tasted like it was stale. There was a second manager type lady on the second day who was a bit softer than the lady we had met on arrival and asked for the tea from. It's called a country house and therefore we had expectations of country house hospitality - tea on arrival and maybe even a homemade cookie or even a scone! Lovely homemade brownbread and jam for breakfast. None of this was on offer. The bedroom had one 250ml bottle of water, replenished daily. The bathroom had two small bottles of shower gel - not replenished daily. No little touches in the room. Overall, if it was called a B&B we probably would have been less disappointed but also, if it was called a B&B we would not have booked it. Having working in hospitality for the last 25 years we felt that the lady we met on arrival, who we assumed was the owner, was probably worn out and had lost her passion for the business.

  : nice location, lovely property, comfortable beds.
  : We were in the attic room even though the hotel seemed very under-occupied. a long way to carry luggage without an elevator. For some reason the stairwell and landing lights weren't on during the day and it was difficult to navigate the stairs and unlock the room in the dim light. Sadly we were not made aware of the lounge and honor on arrival which would have been nice to spend some time in during the rainy evening.

  : Its a beautiful Propety . However, all the other places we stayed in Ireland, and island of man provided water for the room. The pot to heat the water for tea was old and faded yellowish plastic, and some of the bathroom items were very outdated and faded. With that said, we had an excellent breakfast and overall enjoyed our stay
  : Fact no water provided to drink and that the water heater was faded and very old

  : Nice location
  : We paid extra for view roombut, view was only visible while standing at semi-skylight windows. Didnt seem worth the extra cost.
