Declan, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very comfortable bed and delicious food for both dinner and breakfast. Lots of parking. There was a tour group being booked in when we arrived, and only one person on the service counter. That staff member was patient, friendly and efficient. The white horse pub, a short walk away, also had good food.
Melissa, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Fabulous

Excellent, could not be better. Rooms very spacious, clean and modern. Had dinner which was lovely.. breakfast was grand. The rooms are way nicer and bigger than the rooms in the nearby hotel, The River Lee.

Very average hotel

I had booked a single room with a double bed, got a family room with two singles and a double. Shower head at tap level and no shower curtain. Not good if you’re 6foot. Restaurant staff very good food not great.
