Great value, excellent location. A very well-run boutique hotel - would definitely stay there again!
Pros:

Our room, despite being a standard double was very comfortable and clean with good facilities and nice decor. Breakfast was excellent and the staff were all very friendly, helpful and welcoming. We were even able to park right outside the front door for just €10 per night.

Cons:

Nothing really...perhaps the bed was a little too firm for me but not for my partner.
