Hotel is beautiful, very old world, it’s everything an upscale, traditional Irish hotel should be. Staff were amazing, Veronica at the reception was especially professional, friendly and helpful. I’ve been visiting Ireland for over 2 weeks now and this hotel bar is the very first place with a proper barman. One that engages and has the Irish banter all the while serving you drinks in good time. Between Jason and Damian the couple of hours we were there flew. Thanks, it’s been a pleasure.
