Pros (+) Food and atmosphere was excellent, staff very friendly and helpful.
Cons (-) That bath is too narrow, even for use as a shower, could do with another safety handle on exit from the bath. I didnt like the coloured lights in the bathroom and the bedroom was a litle dark.

Pros (+) The Twelve is a very nice hotel, well appointed and with nice features. It has clearly been constructed at a high cost.
Cons (-) The owners of this hotel need to look in and inspect the place. The reception area is untidy and scruffy, tables in the bar unwiped, door plates covered with fingerprints, general need for a change of cleaners. No Irish staff in evidence. I couldn't understand what the receptionist was saying to me. We avoided eating here.
