The Staff Go Out of Their Way to Offer Help
Ireland is famous for its welcoming culture, and that friendly attitude is personified at this property. Guests consistently commented that the staff were extremely warm in their demeanor, and very knowledgeable about attractions, transit routes and other tips about how to best enjoy the area.
positive:
The Location is Secluded, Yet Near the City Centre
Guests really appreciated how this accommodation option is in a quiet, slightly isolated area that's conducive to relaxation. However, even if you don't have a car, it's easy to get to the city centre and back via a public bus route. Guests frequently mentioned Route 140 as being the most convenient.
positive:
Complimentary Off-Street Parking
If you're travelling by car, there won't be any need to struggle for a spot on the street. Guests appreciated how free parking is available on the property.

The Rooms Need Freshening Up
Although guests generally found their rooms to be tidily kept, there were some comments that the accommodations look tired. Even so, this downside was not a major negative point for most occupants.
negative:
You May Think It's Overpriced
Partially because of the outdated rooms, guests occasionally said they felt the accommodation rates were higher than they should have been for what's offered. However, there were still many reviews where guests said they would happily return, so the steeper-than-expected prices didn't make guests gripe too much.
negative:
There's No Bar
Some guests were disappointed to find the property does not have a bar. It's easy to find places to grab a pint or two elsewhere, but from time to time, guests said an on-site bar would have been preferable.
