Gorgeous design and super comfortable rooms.  The dinner restaurant was closed. But breakfast was amazing and Aiden is naturally a wonderful chef.  I wished I would have spent more time there rather than going to Galway (meh).  The local area is so pretty!

Update: several years after our event, I memorialized the menu in a gift. We recently had the opportunity to reminisce about our wedding with family, and we all still have universally positive memories.

I have not been back since, and I wish I had, but I'm very happy to update this review. It was one of the best days of my life. Thank you for that.
