The hotel was nice, the check-in was easy everyone there was very nice. It’s very clean modern hotel and a nice room with a view out. It is about 10 minute drive into town, but we enjoyed our stay. The town is very cute.

Very impressed with the staff who accomodated our needs (daily ice from the bar). While not a deal breaker, would have been nice to have a refrigerator in our excutive suite. Would stay again if ever traveling to Ireland again.

Unable to sleep due to banging noise outside our window. Really poor service at breakfast. One member of staff who was getting breakfast for room service ! I had to ask several times to have dishes replenished. Very few tables were cleared after use. At 10am two further staff appeared ! I mentioned this to the receptionist all she said to me was - I’ll mention this to management.

Highly recommend

Excellent location and beautiful inside with very friendly helpful staff. First class breakfast for just 10 euro if booked at reception. Plenty of secure parking. Slight criticism regarding room being cold which we reported but wasn't fixed but manager was very apologetic next day. Olga on reception was SO helpful.

Good location and really comfortable.

Great two night stay. Didn’t experience the restaurant but did have drinks in the bar both evenings. Service was a little slow but nothing out of the ordinary. Room was large and comfortable and the reception staff were really helpful when I needed to prints some speeches.
