We've been driving Ireland for a week and this was such a lovely stay. Pristine property & building, excellent staff, great breakfast and dinner at Fork. Room was comfortable, clean, spacious and had everything you could need except tissues. A minor oversight. Laundry service was also offered, which after a week we needed, and they did everything as asked. Such a respite after put last stop, will definitely stay here again.

A great stay!

Stayed for six nights in September. Hotel offers modern decor, with many cosy seating areas to relax with a drink or a book, besides the comfortable dining room. The bedroom was spacious and the bed comfortable. The shower room suffered from being underlit, especially in the shower cubicle itself, and the water pressure wasn't really strong enough. The breakfasts were really good, with buffet service offering cooked options also. The staff were really helpful at all levels within the organisation, nothing seemed to be too much trouble: friendly and professional. We enjoyed the once/twice daily walk into the city, 20-25 mins each way, but realise that not everyone enjoys walking, so taxi-fares might have to be factored in. We had a great stay in a busy, buzzy city, Would thoroughly recommend.
