Despite a few bumps in the road, I had a delightful stay overall. The rooms were spacious and clean, offering great views overlooking the golf course. The dining experience was a mixed bag; while some meals were excellent, there were notable inconsistencies. The location is beautiful, nestled in a picturesque setting, making it a pleasant escape. I would recommend visiting, but be prepared for some areas that may need improvement.

Druids Glen offers a mix of luxury and comfort, with beautiful grounds that enhance the overall ambiance. The service was generally attentive, yet some dining experiences fell short of expectations.
