Maura was absolutely wonderful. She gave us some amazing local travel trips and was so personable. She remembered everyone’s names that walked in the door and treated them accordingly. All the staff were great but she was memorable. The room was perfect and was the best stay we’ve had yet in Ireland.

The property and Staff at the Victoria were amazing and accommodating. Before we even checked in, they called to tell us that food service was ending for the day and to see if we wanted anything put aside for our arrival. We were greeted warmly and our rooms were impeccably decorated and maintained. The breakfast had a huge variety of menu options and all we tried were delicious. We will definitely return on our next trip.
