Verified review

6/10 Good

This was a quick one night stop on our Ireland road trip. Parking availability was challenging. The property was clean and dinner in the restaurant was good. However the hotel is very dated and the rooms are very basic. The only coffee available in the room was instant. Expected more for the price paid, although it was on the bank holiday, so perhaps that had impact but a coffee maker in rooms would be an improvement
