"The entrance to Lough Eske Castle is a facade that was built sometime in the late 1800s. This is important because it looks like something out of someone's Disney fantasy. If you're looking for a 5-star historically relevant architectural site, this is not for you. We had room 248. It was literally a 3000 step walk each way to the restaurant from our room. Not for the mobility impaired. The vibe was very much corporate hotel, the kind that wants bang for its buck. The rooms were cheap and room service was sloppy (beds were messy after housekeeping left). Towels and robes were threadbare. Dinner service in the restaurant was slow, and the food, while not actually spoiled, was cold and had obviously been prepared well ahead of time and kept on a warmer for the order. The breakfast buffet had a cook preparing egg orders (that was a plus!) but the steam trays were cold and the scrambled eggs had more bounce than a rubber ball. The yogurt was delicious but the fruit was definitely not and the orange juice was out of a box. The spa? A 30-minute service was actually 15 minutes, there was only 1 shower in the women's side of the spa, but several near the pool. Economy was key, you push a button and water jets out for 30-60 seconds at a time. When your eyes are full of shampoo that was a minus. And kids. There were little boys running around the women's showers. Sorry, I expected consideration for adults at a spa. Never returning."
