to get started.

Hotel was well-situated in an interesting town. Rooms were modern, spacious and very comfy. Staff made us feel welcome at the front desk, in the bar, and in the restaurant. Special thanks to Keira in the restaurant. The breakfast that went with the room was far above expectation. The dinners we ate in the restaurant highlighted great local ingredients with thoughtful preparation. We would love to come back when we are next in Ireland.

Edwin, Canada

The staff are most attentive, the food is first class& served so speedily.The room is spacious & very clean but a bit plain Great location for sightseeing /walking

Anne, Ireland

If all the places we stayed in Ireland this hands down was our favorite. We stayed here for 3 nights. The entire staff is amazing. They are well trained in excellent customer service and always are happy. They were so accommodating and you never felt that they were doing something because it was their job. We had not only breakfast but dinner in the hotel and everything was delicious and cooked perfectly. We had drinks on the lounge and again the service was perfect. The restaurant and lounge are busy with local people but we never needed to book ahead.

The hotel looked a little tired. Our room was just so small there was just enough room for the bed. The TV was nearly the biggest thing in the room.
Our breakfast was very tasty and the staff were very friendly, they gave us a late checkout till one which was very kind.
