Stayed here for the night in October, the hotel is a real Irish hotel and not a modern hotel. It was an old abbey and still has that feel to it. The service was perfect and Irish run, the bar is actually the old church converted and is really nice. We went for the breakfast and dinner package and the... more

We had a school year reunion and we were treated so well. The room was decorated like a wedding, we were treated to complimentary wine and the food was beautiful ! We stayed over night and the rooms were a lovely size and the beds very comfy ! One of the girls had some spa treatments and she really enjoyed... more

They provide lovely robes and slippers - water in the room and they go that little bit extra with everything - specially the service. The receptionist - Therese (thank you) and the dining room staff were just so friendly and... more

We stayed in this hotel for a weekend using their 2 nights 1 meal deal. The hotel is very nice and our room was quite big. It would have benefited from a fridge and the internet connection was not working. The bathroom soaps included shampoo and shower gel but not conditioner. I really liked the decor around the hotel. The... more
