We stayed on our first and last nights in Ireland. Beautiful hotel in fantastic location- walking distance to restaurants, shops, pubs. Our first room was pretty small but the overall charm and location of the hotel made up for it. Very charming rooms and excellent breakfast. The cafe and pub are very nice as well. Easy check in/out. Lovely staff. Would definitely stay here again.
