    The apartment was very clean and warm , the Host was very friendly and explained anything that needed explaining. The beds were really comfy, Netflix on the TV. Very pleasant stay 😊 The shop is literally 1 minutes walk away for any essentials forgotten. Pub next door , no noise issues at all and it was a Saturday night. Would stay here again 😊

    Warm, welcoming 😁 and friendly host. Matty has a wonderfully modest hidden gem 💎 Smiled the whole drive from Dublin to Carlow. Then to Royal Oaks..... Apartment was unreal, could've done any better, warm, clean, cozy and very quiet. Facilities are really great. TV has all the apps available so my son was on cloud 9. Hot tub was another high 5 as was Matty's Pub.... So cute with friendly customers. Can't wait to return.

    Only minor aspect - could have done with a shower curtain possibly so as didn’t leave bathroom wet after use.

    Property had everything that we required - very extras left about kitchen and contained all the amenities if you wanted to self cater so a great extra.
