Nice location, beautiful interior, charm of yesteryear! Were able to get a second night in the same room we booked for the first night ( it was a last minute decision to stay a second night) and the team shuffled things around so we didn’t have to change rooms. Really liked this place. Old world charm

The entire experience was excellent.... it was my first time in Ireland and I love being immersed in the old world charm, accommodating staff, excellent food in pub, convenience to everything in town and the well designed and comfortable rooms that had all of the comforts of home.....the lobby and surrounding areas were always filled with guests to either talk with or listen to music their !!. I highly recommend the accommodations and can't wait to return 😊 !!!

Lovely charismatic hotel in great location.

Lovely hotel,great location , friendly and helpful staff.only downside was the room. Fantastic size but the bathroom door had warped and wouldn’t close without a mighty shove and the radiator made a hissing noise all night . Would stay again though .

This cozy historical hotel took me back in time. The attention to detail and the attentive staff truly was a magical experience. The restaurant and pub on site was an added bonus. The only negative which I assume has to do with the age of the hotel is the water pressure in the shower. One doesn’t need to wash their hair everyday— so no real problem. If you want to be treated with supreme kindness and feel like you are transported back in time, you must stay here.
