We stayed here on Jan 20th & 21st 2012. We have stayed before and the staff just make it so nice for you. Everyone from the reception, bar and lesiure centre were all lovely and friendly and helpful. The hotel is only a short walk to the town and a lovely park and playground for the kids. The food in the bar was excellent and priced fair. Good choice and a good child menu too. Our 3 year old had salmon and pasta for €6! Breakfast was good and plenty! Our second morning for breakfast was very busy, but the staff put on extra tables and the manager even helped out with the food so nobody was left waiting at all! Rooms are comfortable and linen all snow white and soft. The swimming pool was lovely. It wasn't busy and the changing rooms were nice and warm. Just one fault in this hotel is- even though the bar is cosy and the staff are excellent it's lacking entertainment on weekend nights. Some music would be nice.
