Our stay at the Brehon was 10/10 - such a great venue to meet up with family. We had family members travel down from Cork to meet with us - the lobby has lots of sofas in front of beautiful fireplaces where we could gather. Then we had fabulous meals in the Bar restaurant.

I really enjoyed my four-night stay at the Brehon. The room was very clean, quiet, and spacious, with comfortable amenities. Plenty of outlets to charge my electronics and the bathroom was generously large. I had one minor glitch with the climate control. It was set to air-conditioning mode but the weather outside was unseasonably cool. I called the front desk and they quickly changed it remotely so that I could turn on the heat. I liked the complimentary Irish breakfast. Everyone I talked to on the staff was friendly and helpful. Parking was easy. I would definitely stay here again.
