10/10 Excellent
"Good price. Slighting outside of town but easy to get to by car. A nice, clean hotel. The best thing, that we're very grateful for, is that the staff changed the check-in time to accommodate us so that we could attend a wedding and have a shower before hand. The only issue: the bathroom needs a toilet brush. Thanks for the visit."

"Overall fine, however there is no air conditioning. I was told it’s a rarity in most Irish hotels - and even their homes. They did provide a fan on request. Bed somewhat hard for my curvy body. The included breakfast was great - full Irish breakfast if you want."

8/10 Good
"The property is a fairly nice place. Nothing special as far as rooms go, and the lack of air conditioning was a definite negative on a hot day. Windows helped but they don't have screens in the windows. Front desk staff was very friendly. Parking was easy. Grounds were very nice. My children enjoyed exploring the grounds."
