    Great location, on our return to Dublin Port. Our suite was located at the front of the building overlooking the formal gardens. The room was large with a four poster bed and large seating area. Furnished in a traditional style it was like stepping back in time. The bathroom was large with a bath and over bath shower. The dining room was equally as impressive and atmospheric. The service was attentive and very professional the menu wasn't extensive but the food was excellent and very tasty. The trio of deserts was a culinary delight.

    -bedroom was boiling in the morning even with the windows open -breakfast was smaller portion than dinner was -person in the bar was a little aloof and oblivious, many errors with drinks and the service felt sloppy -music being played was ill-matched with the mood, felt more abrasive than relaxing

    +beautiful grounds to walk around +dinner was really generous portion +reception team were brilliant +was nice to also walk around the house and explore the rooms +huge bathroom and bedroom, stunning view from the bedroom of the horses and the sea

    Just a few small things like young staff could perhaps do with a little more training in the overall serving of meals. Get someone to go around and check lampshades and cobwebs. Nothing that would stop us returning but things that would make the house more like it should be.

    Check in was easy and friendly. The bar is small and cosy and the dining room is shaped and laid out in a way that you have plenty room to yourselves while chatting over a meal. The gardens are beautiful and we enjoyed a few walks around. The pergola type structure near the house is stunning.

    Breakfast could be more reach. Suggestion: to have bathrobes in the room.

    Rooms are very good, beds are comfortable. The hotel was quite as not many rooms were occupied and I liked it. The atmosphere is very good - comfortable sofas, fireplaces with fire on, nice and light music and very friendly staff. Dinner was good. I really enjoyed sea & fields view from my window.

    I don‘t know if the fire alarm sets off regularly, as we were told it is quite sensitive. It rang 2x in the morning, first time at 7 AM. We would just like to mention this, but we would stay here for sure again.

    We liked the historic building and the interior. The staff was very friendly and our four poster bedroom was super spacious. Great view from the top window/rooms.

    Unfortunately our water was…cold

    An enchanting house in a beautiful location and only a short drive from the hustle and bustle of Dublin! We had room 4 aka Great Western which makes sense having read the history of the house Cpt Halpin! It has hidden walks and perfectly mowed lawns & hedges together with an eclectic mix of furniture and accessories inside.
