Just what we needed

8/10 Very good

Staff was lovely. Overall a great experience. Breakfast options was way better than most Irish hotels I’ve been to and tasteful as well. Cosy pub in the hotel. Just things to know: Door closed at night and you don’t get a key to the front door. Also, the building is very old, which is fine, but some parts definitely show wear and tear. If you visit in the winter there are heating hours, which makes the place a bit cold at times.
