Perfectly imperfect. Irish charm in abundance. Loved it!
Pros:

Beautiful old hotel in stunning surroundings. We had a most wonderful 4 nights stay. Food was delicious. Live music Friday and Saturday evening. Friendly staff.

Cons:

Nothing is ever fully perfect. We would have liked a bottle of water in our room and more milks/biscuits replenished as we were there 4 nights. Housekeeping was sporadic but I think we misunderstood how it worked. Will definitely be back.

Excellent
Pros:

The staff, the ambience and the breakfast. Tea and coffee facilities in the room. Highly recommend for short stay.

Cons:

The stairs which was awkward for some with walking issues. Shower in the bath was hard to get in and out of . Small things as hotel is old. Didn’t take anything from the stay.
