Cosy, intimate, with friendly family vibes and I will certainly return.
Pros:

I was met at the reception by a very friendly and professional receptionist. The Ivy Tower has an old worldly Irish vibe but yet has modern comforts. I appreciated the bathtub. I wish more hotels had bath tubs. I was going for dental treatment and I appreciated the long bubbly soaks.

Cons:

Not applicable

Pros:

We were very happy with everything until the following morning when everyone kept slamming their bedroom doors from around 7.30 am. Was so looking forward to a nice lie in on a Sunday morning.... Other than that is was perfect for our stay.

Cons:

A bit too quick coming out with food, we hadn't finished our starters when they came out with our main course, but that said food was delicious.
