The staff were friendly. Breakfast had many menu options. The location was GOOD. Just a quick 10 min walk into town. Van-Dennis WAS helpful.

the breakfast was great (especially the full irish).
The room was far too warm. The bed was also too small for two people. there was hardly any space in the bathroom, a real inconvenience.

stuffy room coffee machine
I was a bit disappointed that the room felt quite stuffy (it just needed some fresh air circulating). also, i noticed some dust in the corners of the room. It wasn't a huge issue, but i did expect a bit more attention to detail. the breakfast was fine, but the coffee machine was out of order one morning, a slight inconvenience. hopefully, they can address these small things to really elevate the experience.

a charming retreat
sweet touch coffee machine
the staff offered a tour, pointing out the coffee machine and tea. i found fresh macaroons and chocolates in my room upon my return, a sweet touch. the breakfast presentation rivaled a five-star restaurant , and was very tasty.
the stairs creaked loudly, as did the bedroom floors in neighboring rooms. this noise was excessively disruptive throughout the night. i would struggle to recommend this accommodation because of it.

breakfast included many options for all tastes and appetites , and they were accommodating to adjustments. the presentation was amazing , as if prepared in a five-star restaurant. coffee was available throughout the day for all guests.

the hotel is set slightly away from the bustling town center. i found it quite convenient , as it was an easy walk to and from the main attractions. free parking at the city center saved time.
