Wunderschöner Aufenthalt!
Pros:

Sehr schönes, geschmackvolles Hotel mit wunderschönem Garten und sehr geräumigen Zimmern. Das Personal und die Chefin sind ausnahmslos sehr zuvorkommend. Wir hatten ein Abendessen, das phantastisch war, von der Vorspeise bis zum Dessert war alles sehr, sehr gut! Es wird sowohl irisches Barfood als auch gehobene Küche angeboten. Der Pubbereich ist sehr schön, Frühstück gibt es im alten wunderschönen Wintergarten. Im Vergleich zu anderen Unterkünften in Irland hat es sich sehr positiv abgehoben, wir können es vorbehaltlos weiterempfehlen!
