Vast grounds and views fabulous restaurant and the best staff. Authentic Irish pub and displayed history and photos attached to modern motels. Previous owner had let a few minor things slip but new owners are right onto it.

Terrified le
Stayed at this place for two nights and had booked it because it had a restaurant and bar on site. On arrival we discovered that both were closed. There was only one member of staff who was busy drinking wine and couldn’t find our booking which he eventually sorted. He told our friends the bar and restaurant were closed due to covid and we were told it was due to a paperwork issue. My wife went down later and the male staff member asked my wife to join him for a drink ! In the morning breakfast consisted of cereal and coffee with sour milk and frozen bread. The same staff member was also drinking wine in the morning. AVOID !

This property is old -run down - grounds left unkept -carpets are rotten around the wall edges - no bar or restaurant open has been shut down due to renewing liquor licence which is under review - big write up in local paper - would’ve been a great pub in its time
