Great welcome, great staff, great food, great stay!
Pros:

All the staff - from reception (especially the brilliant Aine and Shauna) and everyone in the breakfast room were welcoming, accommodating and provided some great help and advice. (Special mentions also for local taxi driver Danny Ryan, who was recommended by reception and was an absolute legend and local historian Kathleen Villiers-Tuthill, again recommended, who provided a super local walking tour) I'm a solo female traveller and felt safe, comfortable and looked after throughout my stay. The weather wasn't great but the whole stay experience certainly was!

Cons:

Just a small niggle - purely a personal preference - was having a shower curtain. It was perfectly clean but I always prefer shower screens in hotel rooms.
