Parking on the street was tricky. Very busy at the restaurant at hotel which made for congested parking, but the room with balcony over the garden area was peaceful. The town was walkable, especially the viaduct path, and everyone was so friendly!

A beautiful hotel and friendly professional staff. Our room was amazing, comfortable, well equipped, quiet and we had a balcony overlooking the garden. There was a large selection for breakfast and the evening meals were delicious. There is a carpark at the back or on street parking. Would definitely recommend

Away from the tourist locations in a more traditional village. The restaurant was tremendous.

Perfect hotel to stay in before heading back to Dublin. Great location to visit Kilkenny, and some of the smaller towns in between Cork and Dublin. Quaint hotel with a great bar and restaurant. Fantastic staff.

Total gem and worth going a bit off the beaten path. Wonderfully renovated and welcoming spaces. On a cool night there were small fires in the fireplaces in the lobby and in the restaurant. The dinner at the restaurant was the best of our trip, and the included breakfast in the morning was also fabulous. Walkable little town with several historical points of interest, a Friday morning farmers market, and lots of locals at Joyces pub and bakery. We wished we had booked for more than one night.

A very nice hotel. We were given a wonderful room, very large, spacious and comfortable. The food and service were both excellent. As the hotel is an hours drive from Rosslaire, we will use the hotel as our stopping point when we next visit Ireland from the U.K.

Friendly and efficient staff, nice ambience and one of the best hotel meals I have ever experienced (and I have experienced hundreds). The terrine and then hake to follow were exceptional and my wife had a steak which she described as 'best ever'. We will definitely return.
