“Good value and location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 January 2012

We stayed here for two nights. We were booked into room 306. As previously noted it is in the back of the building so it was quiet as far as street noise is concerned. The room was clean and the bathroom is very spacious and up to date. Our only complaint is that the walls are thin. If you have a neighbor who is prone to coughing fits and sounds like he may have left both lungs on the floor when he left then you may have a little trouble with a restful night. Otherwise we were very pleased with our stay. The front staff were very friendly and helpful.

We ate and had a few pints at the bar as well. The food was always good and served extremely quickly. Service was also friendly.

“The Best Hotel in Ireland”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 November 2011

We loved staying in this beautiful hotel.
The staff, the rooms and the service was just fantastic.
A family run business with an eye for detail.
Sensational breakfasts served by the family from grandmother down to grandson!!
And to top it off a their own in house pub with live Irish music.
What fond memories we have.

Thank you so much for having us!!!

“Great Value”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 October 2011

Good value and great location. Food in the bar and pub was great as well as HUGE inclusive breakfasts. Beware though if you are expecting to use your computer - wifi is hit or miss, usually miss, even in common areas.

Room Tip: Room 306 was really nice as the view was (over rooftops) onto a church and was on the top floor at t...

“Great staff: soooo helpful!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 September 2011

We arrived soaked from a hard trek across the mountains. Kay and the others set about getting us dry by cranking the heating up and providng an iron: Kay even offered to put all our clothes in the tumble drier! There was alovely atmosphere in the bar, with live music, good food and much joviality. My boarding pass had got soaked and was tattered, so they helped me print a fresh one! Irish hospitality? Maybe, or just lovely people making you feel good.
