fine viewclean roomcomfy bedfaulty radiator
Our room had an fine view. I could see the sailboats on the lough! It was so peaceful. Our room was clean and presented very well! The bed and pillows were comfy. I found the restaurant food and staff to be excellent.
The towel radiator would not turn off! This caused the bathroom to become a sauna. I found this inconvenient.

The triple room was generously sized and comfortable. The bathroom was enormous and very clean. I found the self check-in aspect handy and efficient (I was able to get to my room quickly). The big window in my room made the most of the gorgeous landscape.
I noticed a slight unpleasant smell in the corridor outside the room.
