The breakfast buffet offered a superb range of food.
My double room had tiny single beds, suitable only for children. The bar closed at 12:30, a first for me in all my years traveling Ireland.. There were no late-night drink options for residents.

cold jacuzzilukewarm sauna
the leisure facilities left much to be desired i must say. the sauna barely registered as warm and the steam room felt more like a brisk walk-in freezer than a place to sweat out toxins. i had hoped for a soothing jacuzzi session, but alas, the water temperature was more akin to a polar plunge, and despite my best efforts, the jets remained stubbornly dormant. no staff seemed to be present, leaving me to shiver in frustrated silence.
