Must stay here . You will not be disappointed
Pros:

Everything about The Huntsman Inn was superb. From check in with the lovely lady ( originally from NZ) to the wonderful service we received in getting a lovely table in the bar restaurant. Sorry we didn’t get your names . All the staff were constantly smiling and genuinely loved being at work. Which showed in their fabulous service . The room we had was big , modern and well equipped … we were able to fit all our luggage . Well done for making stay one of the most enjoyable of our 10 days travelling through Ireland .

Cons:

That we didn’t stay longer … would have been good to stay a few nights .

Comfortable hotel with great restaurant. Best dessert I had in a long time
Pros:

The staff was very nice. It was nice to have a restaurant on site. Driving and parking can be difficult in Ireland it is nice to have an easy access parking lot.

Cons:

They say about a 10 minute walk but it is closer to 20-25 minutes to get to center of town
