While the location and setting are nothing short of incredible, there were several aspects of the experience that were disappointing. Check-in at 4:00pm and check-out at 11:00am felt quite restrictive compared to other similar accommodations. That said, the grounds themselves are stunning, with quirky and character-filled buildings that are a pleasure to explore. The spa facilities are fairly basic and would benefit from improved cleanliness and some general upgrades. Our room had heaps of character and was very clean and comfortable, however it felt quite tatty in places and clearly in need of repairs. The room was consistently cold, and there was a noticeable lack of privacy due to the absence of blinds or curtains including on the shower window, which looks directly onto the main entrance. Dinner was a real highlight of the stay. The food was exceptional, full of flavour, and the service was attentive and friendly easily the best part of the experience. Unfortunately, breakfast was a let-down. We had pre-booked a 9:30am time slot but were told upon arrival that the restaurant had been overbooked, resulting in a further 30-minute wait. Once seated, we were served average coffee and hard pastries that appeared to have been left out from the night before. The Irish breakfast that followed was also disappointing and did not meet expectations. Overall, while the setting and dinner service are outstanding, several operational, maintenance, and comfort issues detracted from what could otherwise have been a truly special stay.

Was booked for breakfast at 10am. Went to the dining room and was told there was a delay and sent to the upstairs foyer to wait to be called. 3 groups of people came after us and were seated straight away. I went down to the staff and enquired incase we were forgotten and was told to wait again . Preceeded to wait for another 20 minutes and eventually got the attention of one of the staff. Tatiana, she was very friendly and told us she would have a table for us. Breakfast was fine, but we were rushing as checkout was 11am. Location is in good proximity to Naas, Dublin. The rooms and grounds are well maintained, the thermal suit could do with expansion as it was very crowded even when there was only 10 people there. Dinner was excellent.
