Excellent Stay, Service and Comfort Highlighted

excellent service complimentary platter attentive waiter

Jake was our waiter. He provided the best customer service I have seen in a long time. He discovered it was our wedding anniversary, so he presented us with a complimentary platter of goodies with "Congratulations" written in icing. Drinks were topped up quickly. Nothing was too much trouble for him.

The carpet in our room had some coffee stains, and I feel that should have been cleaned.

Service

The staff were very friendly and helpful. They accommodated our late check-in and assisted us with our luggage to the room. I found them willing to help and approachable, so I could ask questions and get quick and efficient answers.

I had an evening bar meal that was good. Breakfast portions were very generous. The chef, Liam, was fantastic (I enjoyed the food a lot) and created a great atmosphere, so I wanted to come back again.

Location

The venue itself was beautiful. The night entrance was clearly marked and signposted, so it was easy to find our room after the venue closed. It was very accessible, and I was able to reach the main attractions easily.
