Very disappointed
Pros:

The verandah restaurant was pleasant and the food and service good. The Irish bar food was good. However, the suite we had was very disappointing, rather shabby, worn out furniture and lacking in facilities (had to wash dishes in bathroom sink next to the toilet). No dishwashing soap or cloth, limited crockery ie 1 each soup and breakfast bowl,(despite being booked for 3 people and with sleeping for 5), limited plates and oddments of cutlery. The bathroom door was VERY difficult to shut, you had to slam it and then struggle to open it again and there were no hand towels provided. The front windows had been seriously splintered a few days prior to our arrival, (bricks or heavy objects thrown at them) and they had not been replaced so that we felt quite vulnerable and kept the very scant curtains drawn all of the three nights stay. This meant the rooms were dark and gloomy with only poor lighting available) When we raised these and a few other small issues with staff, they were unable to move us to another suite or rooms as the hotel was full and non of the issues re towels etc were addressed. We were offered a small refund but nothing else changed. Therefore, the overall experience was very disappointing (we had stayed here previously and had enjoyed the accommodation) and it is now very unlikely we would return or recommend the hotel to others.

Cons:

See above

The apartment was perfect for our stay, close to everything, very friendly staff
Pros:

The location was perfect, close to where I needed to be.
The staff were fantastic, especially Helene, she was so very helpful, this really made my family's stay so much easier.

Cons:

Ordered 2 x Caesar salads for dinner, was way too salty.
Ordered 2 x grilled fish another night and the fish was over cooked.
Bit of a shame

Absolutely loved this hotel. We will be staying there again
Pros:

Beautiful heritage hotel. The location was perfect, right in the middle of town. The rooms were beautiful clean and comfortable. Definitely recommend a balcony room to sit and watch the world go by. You have the choice of 2 restaurants in the hotel. We only went to one of them but food and service were great.
