Our room was beautiful,immaculate and had fresh flowers on the coffee table.The decor... More

What a great place, third time staying, we will be back again and again again! Perfect hosts, perfect service, perfect food. Only problem was Ireland lost the rugby, which some of us had got up at 6.30 to watch! You can't have everything but you can have quite a lot at the convent More

The food is superb. The staff is caring and totally concerned with your comfort and enjoyment. The owners, Dermot and Christine Gannon, make you feel like special guests in their home. The guest kitchen, with free drinks and snacks, is a wonderful touch. They have some lovely donkeys in their field that are always happy to see guests. You will... More

The food was interesting and every course tasted fantastic. With... More

The dining room has been refurbished since we were last there and isnt overly fussy on decor which I like... More
