This is a real gem right in the heart of Monaghan Town. Four Seasons Hotel is a comfortable 20minute walk away for wedding guests. Service was excellent and as bedrooms are to the back of the property there's no traffic noise. Great breakfast and excellent service. Really loved our weekend stay.Thank ...
