Our family had a comfortable stay for 1 night. Enjoyed the breakfast as well in the morning. The gentleman at the reception was super nice and helped us with dinner recommendations as well. Only item that could be better is the WiFi, which was very spotty and extremely slow!

We enjoyed our stay here, staff were very nice. We had a bonus hour's worth of traditional Irish music performed in the living room, it was really good. Breakfast was fantastic! My only negative about the property was that it was very dated, especially the bathroom, other than that, enjoyable place to stay.
