Underwhelming I’m sorry to say
After years of using the pub was so excited to be staying here for 2nights, afraid to say we left underwhelmed with the apartment looking very tired, the window latch broken meaning the window kept blowing open and the food service at the pub very poor, staffed by young part timers who didn’t seem to care nor have any communication skills and took offence at any q’s or requests e.g can I have some cutlery pls… could we have some ketchup pls?… basic stuff - really not a cheap weekend at 390 euros for 2 nights without breakfast - sorry to say it was very disappointing

Not a place for a quiet weekend.
First two nights of my stay were fine, the last night, Friday,was spoilt by the noise from a night club that went on until 3am. It was absolutely impossible to sleep.

Adequate
There were no curtains , only net curtains with a transparency to the outside yard. Had I been female, I would have objected even more as someone was smoking directly outside my window in the morning with an unobstructed view of my room! The entrance to the hotel is around the corner in an adjacent street to which I was given inadequate directions as there is a club next door to the entrance of the hotel which caused confusion and irritation.. My only compliment is that it was clean and had a comfortable bed.

Almost perfect but for noise issue
In the main we were very happy. We were upgraded from a double room to an apartment. Staff are very friendly, it was very clean and comfortable. The food is excellent. There were a few things that made it impossible to give it a 5 stars, mainly noise related. The apartment was next to the rail line and another pub across the road. Triple glazing may help to resolve the issue. Also, and this was noted in other reviews so I came prepared, we stayed on a Friday night and there was a loud continous beat from the club up to 3am which my husband slept through but really disturbed me. I had brought headphones so I coped but won't stay on a Friday or Saturday in the future . The bed while comfy was actually too big for the room it was in! A super kingsize meant that at one side of the room there was very little room to get in and out of bed. However we will stay here again, but on a Sunday to Thursday!

Beautiful location and property. A very comfortable stay and very delicious food downstairs. The only thing stopping me from a five star is that I wish there was a bit more warning about the club. If you’re a light sleeper, I wouldn’t stay here Friday/Saturday as they do have loud club music until nearly 3am. Other than that though, during the week, a very lovely place.
