8/10 Good
"If you ask for a quiet room check the room first as they put us near noisy extractor fans/ air con. Called reception and they moved us to a lovely quiet room. Breakfast excellent as were our dinners Not all water jets working in spa but it didn't deter from our experience. Train station 10min walk 1 stop to Cork highly recommend using train to visit the city."
