Très bien pour une nuit d escale
Pros:

C est un bel hôtel, spacieux, la chambre familiale l est également.
Très calme. A proximité même à pied du centre du village. Le petit déjeuner était très bon. Nous avons pu avoir une prise adaptateur pour recharger nos téléphones.

Cons:

L accès à un réfrigérateur est important. Nous faisons souvent des road trip en irlande et avons donc des choses à mettre au frais ...
Le restaurant est assez cher même si on nous offre des voucher de réductions pour les enfants.
Le spa est très mal indiqué et indépendants, malgré des tentatives, nous avons abandonné l idée de réserver des massages en bénéficiant des 10% de l hôtel...

Shamrock was a decent hotel albeit a little dated.
Pros:

Location was a little outside of town which was nice; however, lots of parties made for a noisy experience.

Cons:

Our room location was directly above the main entrance and quite loud.
