    The hotel had a very central location close to the village centre. The rooms were good-sized and brand-new, the food was brilliant.

    Unfortunately Wi-Fi was pretty slow.

    We've just returned from a wonderful stay in this hotel. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, making us feel like valued guests from the moment we arrived. Our room was spacious, clean, and elegantly furnished, with plenty of clean towels provided. We loved the unique Irish feel of the hotel and the attention to detail in its renovation. The breakfast was generous and delicious, setting us up for a great start to each day. We would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting this city and will definitely be returning in the future.

    Couldn't fault.

    Located in the heart of the town, just a short stroll away from the local restaurants and attractions. The period property boasts of spacious rooms with character furniture. The breakfast is decent, with a good variety of options available. The rooms are equipped with a TV with a good selection of channels.

    The parking facilities are not adequately available, leading to a struggle to find a spot on the street.

    I recently had a wonderful stay at a lovely guest house in a beautiful area. The spacious room with its high ceiling and cozy fireplace made me feel right at home. The staff was fantastic, checking me in after midnight and providing excellent service throughout my stay. The breakfast was delicious and served quickly, giving me plenty of energy for the day. The hotel's location was perfect, with attractions just a short distance away. I also appreciated the attention to detail and clean facilities. it was truly a great experience.

    All was great, no complaints!
