We had a wonderful evening in the hotel bar for a few cocktails, made by very friendly staff. We then adjourned to the hotel restaurant “The Town Hall “. Where we were treated to a sumptuous meal, with a comprehensive wine list and fabulous staff.

Ennis is a beautiful village and Old Ground is right in the middle. Poet's Corner is excellent. My wife said her meal was the best of any meal she had on a 2 week visit to Ireland and Scotland. Bed slept like a dream. Staff was helpful. Ever a property cat at the door to welcome you to the hotel.

Loved staying in a place with a history. Breakfast was great (although it could be hard to get a second cup of coffee). And the attached restaurant was very nice. Our bathroom had a drip in the shower and although we told the staff multiple times, it did not get fixed during our stay. We slept with the bathroom door closed.

6/10 Good

This hotel was beautiful and charming, and we loved its appearance when we checked in. However, we quickly realized our room was very cold because one of the windows wouldn't latch. We told the front desk clerk, but possibly because we were Americans, she assumed we just didn't know how to close it. We returned to our room and checked every window, but one simply wouldn't latch, making for a chilly night. The shower water never got truly hot either. After a lukewarm shower and a cold night's sleep, we were startled awake by church bells ringing 20 times at 7:40 a.m.! Since our room was directly next to the church, a heads-up at check-in would have been appreciated. To top it off, the coffee maker was broken. Luckily, our package included breakfast, so we enjoyed an adequate breakfast and coffee downstairs. During our nearly two-week trip, we stayed at several hotels. While I was glad to experience this charming little town, I was even happier that we had booked only one night at this hotel.
