Short, efficient but not friendly
Pros:

Breakfast area is poor with wheelie bins coming in and out 🤔
Breakfast was good and good quality.
Passes for breakfast quite unfriendly and should be done with a list of rooms having paid for breakfast.
Staff could do with a friendliness course.

Wonderful Irish town.
Pros:

Cute property located right on the square. They had live music in the evening. It was a wonderful addition to my granddaughter getting engaged.

Cons:

Not the properties fault, we went to dinner after 8:30 and the only open restaurant was Indian food…which was excellent.
