We only stayed for one night, and were upset with ourselves for not booking longer. Such a lovely stay, with restaurants and shops within walking distance.

Best shower in Ireland
BEST SHOWER IN IRELAND! I have really thick hair so trying to get it clean can be tricky without fairly strong water pressure and their shower was AMAZING! The laundry service was very helpful too and at a reasonable price. Leave it with the front desk in the evening and they'll take care of it over night. I would absolutely stay here again!
