A small gem of a hotel with a big heart ❤️
Pros:

This hotel is excellent! The location is perfect for exploring Dublin or further North to Castlebellingham. It is also 10 mins by car to amazing beaches in Laytown and Bettystown perfect for families.
The bedrooms are extremely clean, comfortable and newly decorated and are all at ground level with easy access for guests with disabilities.
I cannot praise the staff enough who went above and beyond to make our stay perfect. The chefs deserve a special mention for the excellent food and their willingness to adapt the menu for me as I needed gluten free.
The grounds are beautiful and well maintained providing a lovely place to sit in the evening with a glass of wine.
We will be returning for our annual trip to visit our Irish relatives.

Cons:

That our stay was only 7 days 🙂

Just perfect.
Pros:

We loved our stay, clean comfortable room. The staff were all exceptional with a particular shout out to Michelle and Christine for making us feel so welcome and always going above and beyond. The evening food was terrific and the breakfast was just perfect. My husband and I loved the fact we were offered a range of coffees and not just filtered coffee in the morning. I honestly couldn't fault the hotel in any way. We will definitely be back.

Cons:

Nothing
