Top notch customer service!

Reception was amazing , there was a GAA awards ceremony and we were offered ear plugs if the noise got out of hand. We were moved up a floor to help with noise reduction. All round an amazing experience

This is a beautiful old hotel with a great staff and a nice breakfast. There is no parking at the hotel but there is quite a bit of safe street parking in this quaint little town.
