Quaint and interesting older hotel that hosts weekly traditional Irish jam sessions in their dining room with local participants. The manager was kind enough to coordinate the loan of a guitar for me when we travelled to nearby towns for a few days. The staff were all very friendly and helpful and the room was clean and comfortable.

A hotel of this cost, in todays world, should be reasonably comfortable. If there was competition they would go broke. Facilities poorly maintained and serviced w the cheapest things possible. The owner is obviously a v cheap person!

Farnham Arms was cosy and inviting. The rooms were very comfortable and the new bathrooms were a joy. We dined in the People’s Restaurant and enjoyed very high quality food. Hotel is family run and you can see the effort input to ensure guests have a wonderful time.

Good choice

Short stay for a family event, extended because of storm Emma! Cosy hotel, right in the centre of town on the main street so shops, cafes, bars all just meters away which was great. Lovely cooked breakfast made to order. Super friendly and helpful staff. Nice hotel bar serving. Head a family room which was very specious and comfortable.

Reasonable value

Good amount of parking out the back although a little tricky finding it, and I was Locked out one evening, it was tricky getting the gate opened. Room was comfortable if pretty tired. Decent shower, a good flow and hot water. There are a couple of bars and restaurants attached to the hotel but run independently, so no charge gi g to the room.

Good: Central location, walk to restaurants, shops and bars safely. Free parking in secured lot. Cooked breakfast included. Friendly staff. Traditional Irish music on Sunday afternoons and a good pub across the street, Blessings, to watch soccer. Only complaint: It was a hot week in August and the room was very warm; tiny windows only opened a crack, no A/C or fan. Staff were friendly and helpful. The building is a bit worn. Good restaurant and lounge on ground floor.
