The weather was hot and no Air Conditioner, so we left the window open. There was a strong odor that made it hard for both of us to sleep. Also, on Expedia, we signed up for a full breakfast. When we arrived, the hotel said it had no record of our request for breakfast. We ate dinner at their restaurant. The food was good, However, it was the only restaurant that we found in Ireland that put a Mandatory Tip (10%) on the bill for our meal. Otherwise the property was quaint and comfortable. The staff was friendly.
