Beautiful Hotel on a lovely quiet road, 15min pleasant walk to Monaghan. 4 star décor and service but unfortunately not 4 star food. We ordered the steak sandwich which turned out not to be a sandwich as the steak was served on a piece of bread but with not the top i.e.. not sandwiched between bread. This is a personal peeve of mine. However this time it probably didn't matter that the the top piece of bread was missing as we couldn't eat the bread, it was soaked in garlic butte and actually leaking over the plate. On the other side of the plate there was what looked to be a very colorful salad unfortunately it was soaked in salad dressing and was soaking that side of the plate. I had to remove the steak and eat it off a side plate as I didn't want the chips to get soaked The steak was perfectly cooked so maybe do not be so heavy handed with dressings or get rid of the garlic completely. The Breakfast is buffet style. A great choice of yoghurt, cereal, fruit etc. that you help yourself to and it is all lovely. However when you queue to get the hot food the problems start. They serve breakfast until 10am, we went down about 9.20 so after eating the cold food we were queuing for hot at about 9.40/9.45 and the scrambled egg was already finished, very disappointing. I think you should be still refilling at that time as there still quite a few people after us. Secondly the toast is already prepared so you are either given cold hard toast , which my husband was given or you are told that she has to make more and will bring it to your table!!! of course this means by the time you get it, you have already eaten your food, which is what happened to me. I think this could be solved by putting toasters beside the cold buffet section and let people toast their own. Overall a 4 STAR Hotel, with 4 star service...All the staff really friendly and welcoming. They just need to tweak their food.
