Awake most of the night with the sounds of music downstairs, food was ok, nothing spectacular, best part of our stay was the pool.

I was a customer at the hotel on 17 December. Horrified. This place is an Omicrum hub! Staff were wearing masks - often below their nose or chin; NO vaccination status required for entry, or lateral flow requirement. The place was packed, and customers moving around
the hotel were mostly without masks. Get real Canal Court and take more care of your staff and customers. Won't be back
. Pity, as the hotel itself is
lovely.

Canal court is a very nice place to dine in. The Sunday carvery is lovely and the bar food is delicious aswell. The staff are very welcoming and helpful. I'd say it's the nice place to eat out.

Stopped off here for breakfast on our drive down from Belfast to Dublin. What a great find. Beats any cafe or motorway services for a relaxing break. Wide choice from the continental and cooked breakfast menu. Very welcoming staff. Service was faultless and quality of food was excellent. Only minor criticism was that the baked beans weren't very warm, which appears to be very common in many cafes and restaurants. Price was also very cheap compared with UK and Eire prices. Unbelievable value. Hotel would be a great place for a short stay.

I have been a few times! The food is always delicious and the staff are very polite and welcoming. There are a few bars around as well. I have only ever come here for food, so this review is based in that only.
