“We didn't stay”

Reviewed 17 May 2013 NEW via mobile

Just to clear things up we didnt stay we had lunch in the bar it was very poor to be honest the soup was in a tiny cup/bowl you'd give it to a child not a grown man & my steak sandwhich was very disappointing there was WAY too much mustard in it the fillings were literally just thrown in... More

Was this review helpful? Yes

Problem with this review?

Thank you for your review. The soup bowls are a standard size (we would not save anything by giving less) The mustard should have been served on the side and for this I apoligize and for the manner of the staff member at the bar. Tom More

“Connectivity is a challenge”

Reviewed 14 May 2013

Everything in the hotel was excellent with the exception of the broadband and Wi-Fi. The connection keep dropping me after a few minutes and the broadband speed was very poor. The cellular signal was very poor as well, meaning that calls dropped and I could not tether for data. For a business traveller this is a big concern.

Thank you for your review. I noted that you were here on the 14th May and the day after we actually changed over to a new system (at great expense) which is excellent, so on your next visit I hope you will find a huge differance and we would appreciate any feedback. Tom More

“Overpriced”

Reviewed 23 April 2013 via mobile

Firstly I must stay that we didn't stay here , we (two families) stopped for a meal between Cork and Dublin. Everything about the bar food was reasonably good except for the price. We couldn't help but feel that if main courses were €2.00 to €3.00 cheaper it would be the perfect motorway stop off. It was busy while we... More

Thank you for your review,it is difficult to comment on the prices when we have no idea what you had to eat but in general we try to give good value for money which is noted by other reviewers, At least you enjoyed the food and we will keep a eye on the prices. Tom More
