"We enjoyed the hotel that we ended up staying longer than we originally had planned. It was lovely, well maintained and our bed was very comfortable. We used the spa a couple of times during our stay and would highly recommend it. Further, the breakfasts were fantastic, particularly the Irish breakfasts."

"We had an executive king room facing the back which was perfect as it was quiet and we had glimpses of the castle. The room was spacious. The hotel is well located. We were able to park our car (parking was included) and just walk around to see the sights or go to restaurants. The staff were incredbly friendly and helpful. A special thank you to Vanessa at the front desk who gave us a few great travel tips and made check in so easy. Breakfast was deluxe. It was sit down service. High quality. We absolutely loved our stay here and highly recommend this hotel."

"We had a wonderful stay at this hotel and were very impressed with the overall experience. We had two rooms, and both were spacious, clean, and had everything we needed. The hotel truly exceeded our expectations and offered more than we would typically expect from a 4-star hotel. The staff were exceptionally friendly, welcoming, and helpful throughout our stay. They made us feel genuinely cared for and were always happy to assist with any questions or requests. They also gave us wonderful recommendations on places to visit and things to see in their beautiful country. I am so grateful that we listened to their advice, as some of those experiences became memories that will last forever. The location was also very convenient, only a 10-minute walk from the Irish Rail station, which made traveling to and from Dublin very easy. The breakfast was excellent, with a great selection of fresh and delicious options. It was a wonderful way to start each day before heading out to explore. The hotel also offered exceptional room service. Returning to the hotel after a long day of sightseeing truly felt like coming home—it was always relaxing, comfortable, and welcoming. Overall, we had an excellent experience and would definitely stay here again. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable, and welcoming place to stay!"
