Would you pay this much?

The Cashel Palace Hotel in Co. Tipperary was the subject of a lot of debate online after a customer shared her receipt from over the weekend.
Twitter user, Ciara, shared a picture of the receipt after visiting the establishment for Mother's Day. The receipt shows that she was charged €45 for three scones and teas/coffees at Mickey Ryan's Bar at the hotel. A €4.50 gratuity charge was also included bringing the price of the experience up to €49.50.
She jokingly captioned it, "Send an ambulance".

The tweet has since gone viral with over 1,600 retweets and over 2,000 replies.
It's sparked a massive debate with people online with some condemning the "outrageous" price.
assuming the tea/coffee is top price €4 per cup , you are charged €12 for each scone. outrageous

However, others have defended the luxury hotel saying that you're paying for the experience too.
Why don’t you compare price points to say Adare Manor or Ashford Castle? Instead of putting up a receipt with little context. This hotel is a great boost to Cashel and just opened.
