helpful staffperfect locationcramped roomlimited fruit
the staff were so friendly and helpful. one staff member even noticed i was rushing my breakfast and offered a grab and go bag! also, the location is perfect for running because there is a lovely route down to the lough through the castle gardens.
the room felt quite cramped for four people. we paid extra for a pull out bed, but it didn't provide extra space. the fresh fruit salad only had apple and orange, not even cut up properly!
