I explained we were going for a wedding, and that we had little children,... More

On booking the hotel 3 nights before my stay I asked to book a table for dinner on the... More

Sorry that you did not enjoy your meal with us which is a... More

We had the €49 deal in the restaurant on the Friday night which was 3 courses and a bottle of wine which was great value. There was music in the bar on Friday and Saturday night. We went... More
