Belles prestations.
Pros:

L’emplacement, le confort, les équipements de l’hôtel avec salle de sport et piscine.

Cons:

Nous avons eu une chambre communiquant avec la chambre voisine, séparée par une porte, mal isolée. J’ai du demander aux voisins d’être moins bruyants.

We had delightful stay relaxing after a rigorous couple days of hiking and touring. We wished we could have stayed longe
Pros:

The property is modern, in excellent condition, and spotless. We enjoyed the pool, jacuzzi, steam room, and sauna every day. Very well managed and a great place to meet locals who utilize the pool. The bar was comfortable and well appointed. We enjoyed perusing the many books that provide a great deal of information on Irish history. The staff were very helpful providing information about the surrounding area. We were grateful that they found a lost item. Parking was sufficient and easily accessible to the apartment we stayed in. A short walk to town and extremely quiet.

Cons:

We enjoyed everything about this property.
