The staff are very courteous and attentive. They help to make each guest’s stay a pleasant experience. Staff members offer wonderful old fashioned service, particularly those on reception who are helpful and have a wealth of knowledge.
The setting of the hotel is stunning and offers wonderful views. There is a laneway from the hotel that leads up the Sugerloaf Mountain. The advice is to take walking shoes in order to fully enjoy the surrounding gardens and landscape.
The hotel is a short distance off the M11 motorway and easy to find. This road leads straight into Dublin city. There are two nearby train stations, Greystones and Bray, which travel to Dublin city centre and onwards to Howth in north county Dublin.

Guests found the pool warm and inviting. However, some younger guests were perplexed by the rule that those aged under sixteen must be accompanied by adults. The other swimming pool rule is that everyone must wear a swimming cap.
