Good
You couldn’t ask to be on a better location. The gardens were beyond amazing and I felt like I was in another world.
I love the story about the owners, and the food was absolutely delicious. There was a Thai restaurant on site. One of the hosts was beyond accommodating.
The bedroom is very old and it smelt very weird. It wasn’t just a musty smell, but it was like wet dog smell.

What a hidden gem. The gardens were so beautiful. Dinner was one of the best meals we had during our trip. If I return to Ireland in the future, I will be returning to stay here.

Poor
location and gardens were terrific
3 hours for dinner and food mediocre at best and out of basics like soup and salad....looks like it was a great property that has now been neglected...in the rain, outdoor staircases were sketchy and two in my party fell

The gardens are simply beautiful and the views wonderful. The rooms were luxurious and spacious...I felt like a queen. The hostess was so accomodating...and she was gracious to us as well. We misunderstood that snacks laid out in the reception area were for guests...she didn't charge us even though this was clearly our misunderstanding. Gracious folks and a nice breakfast.

The entire property was stunning. We had a lovely ocean view from our room which was greatly enjoyed. The building itself is quite nice and the staff were super kind and helpful. Everything within the room worked, the bathroom was clean, had many TV channels and clean bedding. Our only regret is that we were sick so we could not explore the property more.

The large main bedroom, the quitness and the location.
Some fans would have been good as it was very humid .

Beautiful setting. Extraordinary garden.
It was nice to meet the interns from many places.
Room needs a deep clean. There is dust on the trim at the bottom of the walls, dead moths etc.
It would be a nice gesture for Billy or Penn to come out and greet us. We me Pamm and she was very nice.

We stayed in the Alexander room which was a lovely large room with views of the sea. Gardens are amazing and worth a visit even if you are not staying in the hotel.

The gardens are unique and beautiful. The Thai restaurant was convenient and the food was delicious.
The entire hotel appears "tired" and outdated. The rooms need updating.

Disappointing
They refunded most of our money and the place I stay instead was amazing.
They gave our room to someone else.

The Tower Suite was lovely. It was wonderful to have a "living room" area to spread out in after a long day of travel. The beds were comfortable. Very clean and nicely decorated. Lovely views of the ocean down the hill and gardens. The gardens reminded me a lot of home as we have many of the same tropical trees, shrubs and plants :-). Beautiful waterfall. Several sweet ladies showed us to our rooms. Would definitely recommend!
We were traveling with an elderly person. Access to the Tower Suite is only thru outside steps and it was raining hard when we arrived, the steps were steep, uneven, and very very slippery (no handrail). It was challenging to get our luggage and our elderly person safely up those steps. I believe that many of the other rooms have a more traditional, ground level entrance and wouldn't be a problem--but do ask if it is a concern.

Good breakfast. Pleasant server. Nice artwork.
Nice big bed.
Check in was awkward. No central desk. Didn't know what we had stepped into.
Exterior door and door to stairway slammed shut each time.
And extra blanket would have been nice. Had to use robes on bed.

Kayla was a wonderful host when we arrived. Bill assisted us by phone when we were stopped on the motorway and re-routed due to the protests. This was very helpful.

This was an incredible property!! Beautiful house and absolutely amazing gardens with a perfect little walk down to the beach!!
It’s very old and felt maybe a little haunted but that actually added to the fun of it!
Thank you for your information!
