“The lakeside setting and tailored wedding options are attractive, but a lack of attentiveness-especially given the absence of an elevator-detracts from the experience. While the spa has a following, the rooms need refreshing, and the bar could use a more distinct, traditional Irish character. I see potential, though improvements are needed to truly capitalize on the location.”

unclean spaabrupt receptionist
the reception lady wanted to charge full price despite a deposit paid. she was abrupt when questioned. the spa wasn't very clean. The laundry basket overflowed, and used cotton buds were on the floor. handprints covered the glass doors to the relaxation room, salt cave, and sauna. the therapist was nice, yet the experience felt rushed.

The breakfast was lovely. The staff were very pleasant and cute. I found bottled water and little cakes in the room. They were a really nice touch.
Our room was lovely, but there was a leak. We had to move rooms. The smoking on the balcony stopped us from sitting outside.
