A hotel with all the extras packed with the hospitality of a small inn. The best of both worlds!
Pros:

The breakfast was a daily work of art! Gorgeously laid out with almost unlimited choices. It was easy to spend time enjoying the morning. The hotel always had a helpful person ready to care for the guests. Service was exceptional. Beautiful black-and-white photography in the lobby.

Cons:

The rooms were so incredibly stylish and modern that they could have used a few more flat surfaces for clothes, etc. It would be good if there was an option for less scented ambiance for allergy-prone guests.

A great stay with easy access to local bars and music.
Pros:

The breakfast was a highlight of our week long trip around Ireland. The staff were friendly and the location was ideal.

Cons:

We were unable to find a quite corner for our group to sit and play board games (I was organising a boardgame tour of Ireland). It did not appear to be part of the Hotel's setup.

Wonderful stay in Doolin.
Pros:

We loved Fiddle and Bow - loved our room and the exceptionally gracious staff. The restaurant was awesome as well. The included breakfast was lovely - we also had a fabulous dinner at Russell's. The town of Doolin is beautiful and charming with great music in the evening.

Cons:

Wish we could have stayed longer!

Just a fantastic stay!
Pros:

Everything about our stay was excellent. The breakfast was great with multiple hot options long with the buffet of cereals, fruit and various breads and scones. We also ate dinner in the restaurant and it was one of the best we had in all of our stays in Ireland. I highly recommend eating here.
