Gorgeous food

Room is ok for a one night stay, bed really low to the ground and TV is really small. Bathroom has a tiny sink and a spilt mirror so i could only see half my face unless i bent down or stood on my toes. Staff were friendly and breakfast was gorgeous.

Amazing find!

Lovely staff who would go above and beyond to help out. The hotel had a Gorgeous view backing out on to a river which could also be seen from hotel restaurant through a floor to ceiling arched window. This hotel really was a great find and like I said the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. I will definitely be returning when I’m next in Ireland!

Genuinely friendly staff. Ms. Paula, who manages the property (which includes a picturesque backyard and babbling river behind it), is a wonderfully engaging and a proactively attentive professional. From a hotel stay perspective, we were very happy. The hotel's restaurant was not perfect, though. Whereas the salmon was cooked perfectly and tasted amazing, the steak was over-cooked and not cooked to temperature. Otherwise, though, the food was appropriately what one would expect from an inn. All in all, we were very happy and plan to return.

We had a wonderful stay at the Inn - every comfort catered for - room was very mod and had all you could possibly expect more like a 4star hotel - food was superb but the highlight was the friendly staff and most welcoming host - the lady owner.

Perfect wee Hotel? Almost.

The Hotel is very well presented with fresh, high quality decor and fantastic rooms. The food too was top notch! The owner made an effort to chat to the guests which was just as well as I was there midweek and it was very quiet. A very comfortable and plesent stay.
