"This is our second stay at the Irish Cottage Inn, the first being during Covid. So we were delighted to see tea, scones, and cucumber sandwiches set out in the afternoon in the lobby when we arrived. Off the lobby is a lovely library room where one can enjoy some quiet time. There is also an small on-sight gift shop with Irish-themed items that was fun to check out. The staff was friendly and courteous. We didn't encounter any issues during our stay.
Our previous room faced the back of the property and overlooked a small meadow and woods. This time, our room faced the front and was on the entry floor of the parking lot (we usually request an upper floor, but I don't recall that the Expedia reservation gave us the option to request something like that). In any case, we weren't as thrilled with the placement of the room, but it was very clean and the bed was comfortable (although the cushions on the chairs were extremely hard). The fitness room was average in terms of equipment, the pool was fine, but the hot tub looked a bit cloudy, so I didn't try it out.
One of the bonuses of this property is that it includes a great restaurant--Frank O'Dowd's Pub which has live music during some evenings, and this is also where a really nice breakfast is served in the morning. The breakfast included hot offerings (with _real_ scrambled eggs, bacon, and cinnamon French toast the day we were there) as well as fresh fruit, nicely flavored and textured oatmeal, and fresh bread and scones."
"The kids club is out of this world. Sonmuch to do and make. Its a kids wonderland anf not talked about enough. The waterpark is great too! Staff is all very nice. "
