Our room was in the attic but large with a fully equipped bathroom, complete with a corner bath and separate shower, and a huge comfortable bed.

We stayed in eight hotels during the past two weeks and we feel this hotel was the best. The service and welcome were excellent. The room was excellent-full of character and the hotel's location was perfect. The staff especially the manager were friendly and professional. There is free parking opposite the hotel. If you get the opportunity stay here. Ireland.

If that's not your thing go elsewhere. The... More
