Have stayed in many hotels in Ireland but this one ranks in my top three. It had everything one wishes for- Warmth and comfort, lovely four-poster bed fit for a king, peace and quiet, delicious food, very friendly and obliging staff, beautiful indoor decor and nicely designed gardens with very attractive ornamentation. Will definitely stay there again.
