Love the decor, staff, food and service
Pros:

No breakfast buffet but lovely menuu, lovely food.

Could do with a few hooks on the bathroom door for towels, especially if staying another night - no need to launder them, but good to let them dry a bit

Downtown location with free parking
Pros:

Downtown location with free parking.

Cons:

No tea/coffee service in the room but you could order complimentary tea/coffee ...as long as you had it in the room. The rooms are very small so we went to the outdoor patio and learned that complimentary tea/coffee did not apply to the patio. Because the rooms are so small, there is no where to enjoy the tea.

A great find in a very interesting county.
Pros:

This is a real gem of a hotel. Whilst the town isn't the prettiest of towns it is a great location to visit loads of fantastic sites over the region. The rooms are not as large as other hotels but the public spaces are lovely. The staff are great and the food is excellent.

Cons:

It is a Townhouse so don't expect great views from your bedroom. The hotel though is beautiful and has a lovely sitting out area.

Pros:

I requested for an early check in to allow me dress up and attend a function that started at 2pm and this was houred, My room was ready when I arrived at about 1pm

Cons:

I am not sure if the price is comparable with other boutique hotels in Droghedaq but I thought it was on the high side for a small town
