One of the nicest hotels I've stayed in and great value for money.
Pros:

Everything about this hotel was exceptional, from management to ground staff. Clearly everyone enjoys working there. The food was excellent, the bar was run with panache and the staff was off the highest level. The location surrounded with culture.

Cons:

The weather could have been better 😆

Comfortable and cozy
Pros:

Ideal location for a visit to Wild Ireland. We visited Malin Head and drove around the coast and viewed the beaches. Ideal for a visit to Derry only 7km away.

Cons:

The only area I would say is the bar could be improved in terms of selection of drinks. But really not a big deal breaker
