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.

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 cleanliness of the main ladies toilets, maybe an hourly check would work here, also I thought the food was cooked in a lot of oil.

Our one and only problem was this bacon for breakfast. It was over cooked and hard or burnt. Did my husband complain? No only to me. He didn't want to make a fuss. Some times if you complain the kitchen staff can learn from it. So I mention it here.
staff were brilliant, so helpful Housekeeping were top class Room service was wonderful

“A high quality hotel at a reasonable price in a good location.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Stayed 3 nights
The bar is a very busy second restaurant and at weekends was full of locals having dinner at reserved tables with no seating available to residents to just sit and have a drink with friends. A strange experience to be asked at half seven in the evening if we had reserved a table as we walked into our hotel's bar. Perhaps residents can reserve a table just to sit and have a drink?
High quality with very friendly and "on the ball" staff. Big secure car park and lift to both floors. Food in the restaurant was excellent if perhaps a little over generous in quantity.
