Not a great location. Probably better as a time share resort rather than a hotel. Meant to be 4 star. Might have been but room and bathroom were rudimentary. Fridge didn’t work. Bathroom supplies a little poor. Restaurant had a great menu and good food but it all needed more effort towards the customer.

Magnificent property- stunning views- lots of land around. Spa seems first class. Very close to town but our gps got us lost after returning from music in Kinsale. Clean room! Can’t comment on breakfast since we slept thru it but they gave us scones and coffee after hours . Too short a visit .
