"All delightful - especially the staff However the breakfast and dinner were disappointing. The breakfast buffet was poor - and the à la carte was limited . Considering the location surprising that there no fish on offer -2 varieties of irish breakfast? Why no local produce ? The dinner was mediocre and overpriced. It's such a shame as the rest of the hotel was excellent ."
