For example, sockets loose in the wall, only one socket of double socket working, bedside lights can only be turned on/off from one side of the bed. Both room and en-suite very small as en-suite has been partition off from the room leaving no space in either, toilet so close to the wash hand basin that one has to sit sideways.

They had a fan in the room and the bed was comfortable. The shower and bathroom were clean and everything worked well. The staff at breakfast and at the desk were wonderful! Very kind and helpful! Then the second night came upon us. Our tour settled in after a long day of sightseeing, eager for rest and relaxation. This is where our stay took turn for the worse. Unbeknownst to us, there was to be a wedding. I tried to fall asleep at 11:00 PM while listening to bass thumping and loud announcements like I was above a rave. This went on until 2:30 a.m. I would recommend this hotel 100%, but would make sure there isn't an event at the time of your stay.

We wouldn't return to this money hungry place. It was our third hotel on our trip. The others were…read morehalf the price here with better food, more welcoming and well managed. I booked online for ourselves and two guests, £712 for two nights for two couples. On arrival we were met by a sullen lady receptionist in the hostility rather than hospitality business. Her greeting was 100,000 welcomes short. Avoiding eye contact, she quickly drew attention that I'd only booked one guest per room. I wasn't aware, it was my mistake booking on-line so I paid the £40 shortfall for additional breakfasts to avoid challenge at breakfast but guess what, on the first morning I was embarrassed to see our guests challenged for additional money by a manager in front of other guests in the breakfast room minutes after being shown to our table. I went to reception for a senior manager but none were on duty: I said I'd return early evening for the night. No one bothered to find me - efficiency ceased at grabbing my cash. The charming, morning reception lady couldn't explain why this happened but feeding their greed didn't work. We dined in their restaurant night one; maximum priced against least effort to make - same in their cafe. It took ages for our order to come - pizzas, salads - that came soon after I enquired from a minimum wage waitress. Staff were rushed. We dined elsewhere next night. Breakfast next morning delivered the toughest saltiest 'crispy' bacon I had the displeasure to eat: solid leathery. Any chef would know they served rubbish. I prefer fish (we got fish in the two cheaper better customer focussed hotels) but not offered here so Ireland's fishery industry is unsupported. Sausages were overcooked, plum tomatoes weren't plum but round, 'free range' eggs aren't and mushrooms tasted like they were tinned. The honey isn't honey; fake from China and Mexico - rubbish. A second coffee pour isn't offered. Waitresses carrying the pot don't make eye contact so must be called. They were, but guests shouldn't have to shout for coffee. The soft water isn't filtered so coffee/tea tastes sour, again no expense spent. I'm glad I didn't ask for cappuccino. Our in room tea bags contained micro plastics. There's irony here - the hotel shop flogs Irish produce yet at breakfast no Boyne Valley or local honey nor support Irish fishing. The tomato, brown sauce and mustard pouches are cheap with chemicals added - no better quality Heinz, HP or Colman's mustard - maximum dosh from customers minimum spent on customers. Breakfast second morning was avoidably grim - remember £180 a night for two with breakfast. The brekky menu states 'eggs any way' so avoiding horrid bacon, cheap sausages I opted for omelette 2 eggs but waitress instantly said 'we don't do omelettes' I rehearsed 'eggs any way' omelette is eggs simple, easy quick. I asked for a manager, twice in 24 hours none appeared: there was one I saw him. Management had two opportunities to speak with me directly, a third would soon arise. I expect a menu re write to not do omelettes. The polite waitress returned after a good while. She unapologetically asked what omelette I wanted - our youth are often curt and don't do hospitality well. I got an overcooked plain one. So here it's seems too much effort for high paying guests: a lazy chef. Another 100,000 welcomes and one apology short. On return to our room after our second avoidably unpleasant brekky experience in 24 hours the door key card wouldn't work. The room cleaner was next door. She refused to open the door and as English isn't her first language we understood her to say she'd go to reception as she walked away. After several minutes she returned but we had misunderstood so I entered the room she was cleaning (guests had left) to phone down. It was the lady I'd raised the money grabbing incident with; here was a third missed opportunity by management. She apologised and sent up new cards taking 15 minutes when she simply could have told the cleaner to let us into our £180 a night room. I know cards malfunction but we were peeved at all the malfunctions, money grabbing and at over three score and 10 with a belly of negotiated omelette I wasn't up for trekking to reception and back. On the matter of three score and ten and male I've sympathy for plumbing and our in-room radiator came on noisily each morning. 90 minutes swishing constantly running water sounds and clunky hissing noise so much so I couldn't get back to sleep. Climbing into the bath to shower is challenging. On departure the polite morning receptionist asked if I was sorted, indicating she had escalated my complaints. She invited me to speak to a manager but it was pointless as we were leaving. There's management here but not as we know it Jim; beam me up Scotty. Caveat Emptor applies here in spades; they forget the rule customers make paydays.

The heat was incredibly stuffy despite opening all the windows. I did request a fan. As they do so many weddings and charge such high prices it would be a good idea to at least supply a decent iron not the ridiculous kow quality travel iron that is there. And remove some of the clutter so we could have room for our things. A room for 3 should have more hangers. The breakfast was soooo disappointing and the service very skiw despite an empty dining room. The pancakes tasted bland and of nothing. The Irish breakfast was awful and the only items of good quality were the eggs, sausage, fresh apple and fresh orange juice. I would absolutely never stay here again.

The environment is gorgeous, staff are incredible and the good was great. About a year ago I took my boyfriend here to check out a potential wedding spot for the future and he got down on one knee in the exact spot we were to be married in! Very romantic, such beautiful grounds! One year on and I'm back to book the wedding of my dreams here. Sarah, our wedding coordinator is brilliant! She's super lovely and really listened to what we both really want from our day. I then decided to try the lunch menu which was amazing value at 22e for a three course. Starters: get the stationhouse smokies!! To die for. The main course was good, but didn't blow me away. I had beef stroganoff for the first time. Really flavourful and a huge portion. The rest of my party went for Turkey breast and a steak. Happy all round. Unfortunately the dessert let them down. I had a double chocolate mousse. I guess I was spoilt at The Farm, but it didn't cut it. The apple pie was a safer bet. Brilliant value, brilliant staff, beautiful location. Not to be missed.
