Despite having already paid online for this accomadation ,we left so our stay was beyond dissappoint
Pros:

Whom It May Concern,
My husband, my 31-year-old daughter, and I had travelled from our home on the Kerry/Limerick border, a journey of approximately 160 miles, to visit the Beyond The Trees visitor experience at Avondale. We had paid 235 euros to stay at Murphy's Tinahily for one night on Saturday 2nd August Bank Holiday 2025.We had chosen Murphy’s based on its reasonable proximity to Beyond The Trees visitor experience and also with the belief that it would offer comfortable hotel-standard accommodation.

On arrival, we were shocked and disappointed to find that the apartment was not located within the main hotel building, but instead in a separate, shabby structure nearby with a rough and uninviting exterior. The area was made even more unpleasant by the strong smell of cooking oil and fast food from a chip shop directly next door.

The two televisions in the accommodation did not work, and while clean the overall condition of the place fell far short of any reasonable expectation based on how the hotel had been represented online.

Due to the poor appearance and atmosphere, we chose not to eat at Murphy’s and were forced to drive all the way to Arklow to find a decent meal, even though we had arrived tired and hungry after a long journey. After visiting Beyond The Trees we were so disheartened by the accommodation that we returned, handed in our key, and—despite the risks of driving long distances on narrow country roads over a Bank Holiday weekend—decided to travel the entire way home rather than spend a night there.

This experience has left us feeling misled, distressed, and extremely disappointed. We feel strongly that:

The listing on Booking.com was misleading,

The standard of accommodation does not meet any reasonable tourist expectation,

regards Eileen,

Cons:

The poor shabby outward appearance
