Amazing stay! Would definitely stay again!
Pros:

It’s an Irish castle, what’s not to like? I’ll start off with the staff, everyone from the manager to the bartender we’re extremely respectful and kind. The front desk found out we recently got engaged and upgraded our room, we can’t thank them enough. The bathroom and area were great in the room, and the bed was big and comfy. The bar is a fun place. And it’s super cool to learn about the history.

Cons:

It’s just a little ways north of the city. It doesn’t have the best walk ability to stuff, but there’s tons of car services in the local transport to make up for it.

10 out of 10 do recommend
Pros:

Breakfast was probably one of the best buffet breakfasts of any hotel I have stayed at internationally. I found the rooms very clean, comfortable and the staff extremely friendly, personable and engaging. One of my favorite overnights anywhere

Cons:

Not much. Breakfast area at opening was a little chilly but it was also fairly cold outside and its in the original part of the castle so understandable.
