Very convenient location, clean and a good breakfast.
Pros:

Breakfast room was very clean and spacious
Bedroom was quiet and well appointed
Location was great and good parking allowing us to park up and walk to all amenities.

Cons:

11am checkout was a little early for us as we were attending a wedding. We requested a later checkout the previous night and were offered 30 minutes. We were grateful for that but perhaps an option of a later checkout even at an extra cost might be worth considering.

Adequate but no warmth and a distinctly unfriendly attitude in both the Restaurant and the Bar.
Pros:

Good central location. Lovely soft bedding. One small point; proper salt and pepper on the tables, in fact pink salt and proper peppercorns. Decent breakfast.

Cons:

Not the friendliest place I’ve stayed at. A perfectly functional but hardly warm welcome. Followed, at 8:10 on a Friday evening, by their refusal of a seat at the hotel’s bistro because “the kitchen is now closed “. I asked why and they said the kitchen closes at eight. Really, really poor, especially for a resident. Cong however, is a bit like that. The pub across the road is the best but it stops serving at nine and reservations are definitely needed.
Also, while the breakfasts are tasty and the range is good, the sausages and eggs are not freshly made; they sit in their metal containers for half an hour or more. It’s not like an old-fashioned Irish B and B.

Fijn hotel
Pros:

Fijn personeel.
Heerlijk ontbijt.

Cons:

Kamer was keurig en mooi ingericht.
Wel donker. Maar 1 klein raam.

De vloerbedekking op de trap en de gang boven was vies en gaf geen goede eerste indruk. Jammer, want dit was niet representatief voor de rest.
