". Room was clean however during the stay there was a lot of heat in the local area and the windows would not open more than an inch. Thankfully the staff were kind enough to provide a fan. Breakfast was very good as was the bar service and bar food.....the other resturant on site had a nice menu however there was a deal for a 3 course meal for €42 roughly per person the menu showed a starter a main and a desert choice however you could only pick 2 of those because tea or coffee was considered...
