"The breakfast was excellent. I ordered the eggs Benedict at 8:30am (first guests at breakfast) and it was the best I've ever had."
"On arrival we were reminded rooms are above a bar and restaurant, there would be noise-Irish rugby fans watching their team beat South Africa."
"The food was exceptional and everybody complimented the quality and the portion."
