Brooklodge & Macreddin Village

Im not sure where to start really, I suppose at check in. The path leading up to the entrance is loose stones, you cant wheel your suitcase which meant physically lifting it up. This would not be ideal for older folks and those with physical impairments. The room itself was fine and clean but the bed wasnt very comfortable and the TV was so low down that I couldnt see past my own feet! The spa, 5 star for that, beautiful spa and treatments, perfect to unwind. The big let down for me...was the food! We were there for 2 nights. Breakfast is fairly bad...salmon and wildfish for breakfast? The full irish option was the smallest full irish ive ever seen. Pancakes were small and thick. Strawberry tree restaurant, I know its all organic but...40 euro for a main course? I can justify that if the food was really nice, the beef was very fatty, more fat than beef, you would get better beef for 6 quid in Tesco and my potato dumplings consisted of 4 dumplings!! No spuds or chips of any description served here. The Italian restaurant was better but by no means amazing, the beef was fantastic but that was my 1st time in an Italian restaurant that didnt have spaghetti bolognese on the menu. Both restaurants were very fancy, nothing ordinary on the menu. Same for the residents bar, no burger/chips/mash, any kinda general meals. Im not sure how this would suit kids (luckily ours were not with us), there was honestly not 1 meal an average kid would eat, bar pizza in the Italian.
