The hotel staff promptly directed us to a patio upon our arrival. We had Irish breakfast tea and fresh scones there.. It was a perfect way to feel refreshed. Dinner in the main dining room highlighted local, in-season ingredients.
The gym was slightly disappointing. It has limited equipment. I noticed only a few treadmills and some free weights.

the staff were friendly and accommodating. my room featured a comfortable bed. i told the staff this upon checkout, and they offered to email the brand name after getting the information. the complimentary breakfast was excellent and i looked forward to it each morning.
our room faced a side street with bins. it took away from the atmosphere, especially as the stay was part of my birthday week. i had hoped the room choice might reflect that more.
