Lovely place with a spacious room - the Lady Pamela Suite. Dinner in the lounge was delicious and plentiful. Host & staff were all very friendly. Only one criticism - the lighting in our suite was very dark - otherwise perfect 🤘

Welcome was warm and friendly. Had a lovely Irish meal at the pub before it closed on Sunday night. Beautiful room and new bathroom. Didn’t like the stairs for luggage. The room got warm and no fan worked. It did get noisy after misowith drunks and the traffic light noise.

Stopped here for the night on our way from Dublin to Killarney. Our room was modestly sized, but very well appointed and comfortable. Had a great dinner at the Silken Thomas restaurant at the hotel. Even though we didn't have recommendations, they asked if we'd like dinner, then they found us a table at 7:00 pm. Worked perfectly. The village is small, but cute, with some stores within walking distance to purchase essentials.

My son and I had an amazing stay at this hotel. The staff was the friendliest we have ever encountered, the bar was so fun, the drinks were strong and the prices great! We didn’t end up coming in until close to midnight, I didn’t realize that I booked just a double bed for my young adult son and myself so the gentleman that checked us in went out of his way to switch our rooms around to give us a room with 2 beds and it was HUGE! The room and bathroom was very clean, parking was easy, staff very accommodating, would recommend this hotel to everybody and cannot wait to come back! Thank you so much for making our trip so memorable!
