The setting, the breakfast, dinner and the music.
The shower was very slippery. There are no mats or strips to keep you from falling. I find this in all the places we have stayed at in Ireland and it is pretty scary. I have to take showers holding on to the handle or anything I can find.

It was close to the Abbey, the room was comfortable and had a bath tub. Food at the hotel was decent.

The view is spectacular but the cost of the deluxe bedroom on ground floor with sea view was a bit excessive. I liked the fact that I could access my own Netflix Account on the TV in the room.
Cost of room. No bath.

There is an old charm there and the staff are so helpful and friendly. Loved the relaxed atmosphere. The food is excellent too. We really enjoyed our time there.
Our room was above the bar/dinning room so when background music was played for dining at breakfast we heard and felt every thump of the music from very early in the morning. Not every morning, depended on the music played.

Breakfast was nice, had everything we needed/wanted. Rooms along the front of the hotel had beautiful views of the lake. They also had live music in the evening.
Room 71, Shower was nice, but didn't drain. Had to take a very short shower because of that. I told the front desk. Hopefully they get it fixed, but it looked like it had been a problem because the bathroom door showed signs of water damage.

Bhí an bricfeasta thar barr . Tá an córas i bfhad níos fearr anseo , mar roghnaíonn tú an béile mór ón menu. Ach fós bhí gach cereal agus arán agus torthaí amuigh do na daoine é a thógaint . . . . Bhí an radharc as ár seomra dochreidte go hálainn.
Ní raibh ach oiche amháin againn. Bhí sé chomh deacair an áit a fhágáil.
