Beds very comfy, rooms large and hotel centrally located
Pros:

Centrally located but peaceful. Room lovely and large, great bathroom with a bath. Staff were very friendly

Cons:

Would have liked a few more choices at breakfast such as muesli, toast, sweet pastries. Needs more hangers in the wardrobe but all these are picky!

Beautiful hotel but high price not worth one night treat
Pros:

Comfortable clean rooms, with beautiful decor and overall feeling.

Noise from both the courtyard and the main street seemed to echo into the room.

Lacked a special touch or welcome on arrival

A great place to stay in Dungarvan
Pros:

We loved everything about the hotel with one exception .
Breakfast was a pleasant surprise too.

Cons:

The coffee maker in the room was a complicated design and it was located in a tiny very dark corner. Most people would be unfamiliar with the operation of the machine and it was impossible to see the controls. There were no instructions provided.

Hidden gem
Pros:

Really cute hotel tucked off the main square in the town. The location is two seconds walk from the water front and really close to cafes bars and restaurants. Once you walk in the door of the property it’s like you are in a different world, it’s quiet luxury and it feels like a little secret location. The room was extremely comfortable, quiet and had lovely luxury feel to it.

Cons:

Breakfast was delicious but they don’t have any hot options.
