Three words: Brian Buru Suite (spa package). It was heaven. The room, spa, entertainment, and staff were phenomenal. I would love to keep this little gem to myself, but alas, it was too wonderful a trip. =) More

We found the Irish Cottage to be very nice. It was very clean and the service was superb. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there. Frank O'Dowds was also a nice place to go unwind after a long day of shopping. More

This is our second visit to this hotel. For both visits, we had a warm welcome and comfortable room along with a fine breakfast and entertainment on the weekend.
