The staff were very welcoming and friendly. Dinner was good. The menu was extensive but what I didn’t like was that with most of the fish or chicken dishes there was some red meat element included. The breakfast was very good, with a varied selection. Room was a good size for a family of 4.

Great time for adults and children alike. The Dome is an amazing facility for the kid’s club and other times in the day, with so much to do. Pool brilliant for all ages. Gym excellent. Dunnes, chemist and other shops close by for anything you might need. Bar entertainment was original and a lot of fun. Food, breakfast, lunch and dinner very tasty (recommend the bangers and mash). Staff very helpful and went out of their way to make our adventure memorable.

Very nice room including a lovely bathroom. Quiet hotel. Free parking. Friendly staff. My only complaint is that we wanted to watch Netflix before bed and we couldn’t figure out how to connect to Netflix on the TV. We watched Irish TV instead.

Hotel and room were very clean. Staff were actively on top of keeping it that way which was great to see. Room was comfortable and spacious. Breakfast was great with lots of options from fruit & yogurt, breads to a full coked Irish breakfast. Parking is a little tight as it is shared with a sports complex but I had no problem getting a space. I was there on a Friday and loved the little crunches left with the "Thank Crunches it's Friday" card. Brought back good memories of growing up I. Ireland.
