Great stay the staff are brilliant
What a great stay! Rooms are well appointed, love the decor. Plenty of in room refreshments to choose from. Good internet, iron etc. Great nights sleep, lovely and quiet. Parking is easy, the bar area is cosy and chilled. Restaurant has good food, evening meal fantastic, lunch (a Guinness burger) was probably the best ive had. The staff really make this place shine, very attentive and helpful. Ill definitely stay again, although this was for business in the area, the stay was actually a treat.

Lovely property--beautiful, traditional, clean throughout. Our room (Daphne) was perfect for our twelve-day stay. While we didn't take every meal there, we had many dinners and breakfasts and each was wonderful. Fresh, locally sourced (their own estate), and deliciously prepared. Would definitely stay again. Highly recommend!

Eclectic but stylish lodgings.
Amazing individual courtyard style rooms close to the pub/restaurant. Shower was broken which was dull but all other aspects made this worth a visit.

Super friendly staff on arrival and when we had breakfast. We stayed in Garech Room. There was a room above us with some heavy footed occupants, but nothing some ear plugs didn't resolve. Nice powerful shower, really comfortable bed. Would stay again.

We stayed in a room in the annexe to the main pub building, I guess it might be a former stable block? Everything has been refurbished to a very high standard and the room was perfect. We travelled with a dog and staff were incredibly welcoming and there was a dog friendly area in the bar where we could eat breakfast.
