Pros:

All the staff were lovely and friendly and the hotel was right in the centre of town. The shower was one of the best, with great pressure, and the bed was very comfortable. We ate in the restaurant and it was delicious.

Absolutely amazing stay and still telling folks back home about Zuni if travelling to Ireland
Pros:

Breakfast was amazing staff only too willing to assist with whatever I wanted for breakfast. Louisa , Mary and others there were so attentive and assisted us with everything. The location is great short walk to coffee shops and able to to walk to have same day laundry done . The location was easy walking to town plus visiting the sites all with short walk. Technology shop close by and wine shop to assist with some special needs.

Cons:

I was happy with everything I didn’t mind doing short walks for some exercise
