I had previously stayed at the hotel a couple of years ago and enjoyed the facilities and close proximity to several family attractions so decided to rebook this year. Unfortunately our stay this time around was very much different. On arrival I thought we would grab a couple of drinks and catch the end of the Meath v Donegal semi-final. However, all available tables in the lounge were taken, there were a number of free tables but these were already set up for dinner. Nevertheless I ordered a couple of drinks to have in the lobby and asked for a rose wine only to be told that the hotel no longer sold rose which I found strange as it's quite a popular choice, particularly for ladies. A little later we came in for dinner. At this point I tried to order a bottle of sauvignon blanc only to be informed that the bar didn't have any and my choices of white wine were chardonnay or pinot grigio so I ordered the chardonnay. The waiter then returned to inform me that the bar had run out of chardonnay and the pinot grigio was the only option which I reluctantly ordered but at €32 it wasn't something I particularly enjoyed. We ordered our food and I asked for the pepperoni pizza. Starters and the kids' food arrived and were very nice but when my main course was given to me it was a margherita. This was an inconvenience but these mistakes happen. After about ten minutes I was then given a pizza with only pepperoni on it. I explained to the man, who I assume was the restaurant manager, that the menu said that this pizza was supposed to come with chicken, bacon and ham to which he told me that I must have meant to order a meat feast pizza but on checking the menu he saw that the missing ingredients were indeed supposed to come with the pepperoni pizza so again the pizza went back meaning that I eventually got my main course about twenty minutes after my wife. Again, I understand that mistakes happen but for neither the kitchen nor the restaurant manager to know what is actually on the menu is strange. After dinner I asked the manager for the bill but after waiting around for ten minutes it didn't arrive so I went to the till at the side of the bar and when I eventually came to pay I explained to the young waiter the issues I had and he apologised. I then went to the bar to order a couple of drinks to take to the lobby and after about five minutes, with no one else waiting at the bar, the only bar man who was working told me that I was next but he had another order in in front of me, presumably for the restaurant. Five minutes later he took my order so basically I had to wait ten minutes to get served. I ordered a couple of gins and was told that there were no clean gin glasses so tumblers were my only option. I asked for a gin with sparkling water and dash of lime for my wife and was told the bar had no lime cordial which was quickly followed with being told that the bar also had no sparkling water. After deciding on soda water instead I was then told that th

Attended the AONTÚ Ard Fheis here on 24th May 2025, staying the 2 nights either side. Our big gathering was very well catered for by the excellent staff, and I enjoyed my overnights in my large comfortable room. Buffet breakfast is excellent. Only thing I’d say is be careful in the slippery bath & the bathroom floor can get slippery when wet, best to throw down towel for extra safety.
