Very welcoming, comfortable for families. Located right in the middle of town. Got the train to dublin for the day, station across the road, €12 return for 2 adults/1child. Bar & restaurant beautiful food and surroundings. Was hoping for some live music in the evenings but not offered. Only downside for us, and the heat inthe rooms, fan provided but still veru very warm. Overall good and will return.
