I had a lovely weekend at the hotel, enjoying delicious breakfast and a relaxing spa experience. However, I found the room a bit dated and the corridors were confusing. The staff were fantastic, making my stay enjoyable despite a few drawbacks in the facilities. Overall, it's a good spot but could use some improvements in certain areas.

Just back from an amazing weekend at Breaffy House! The surroundings and interiors were stunning, and we loved our spacious suite with a huge king bed. The kids had a blast with all the activities on offer, especially the mini-disco and outdoor games. However, I was quite disappointed with the handling of a spa voucher I received which expired because I couldn't use it in time. The lack of respect for customer service was frustrating, given my previous positive experiences.
