Great modern hotel in a very small town off of the highway. We decided to stay somewhere outside of Dublin after visiting Dublin for a couple of days on our way further south to the Ireland coast. This was a perfect place for that. This was a perfect hotel for that. It was a very large facility with a great morning breakfast and a nice onsite bar and restaurant. Would definitely recommend this place when exploring the countryside in the area.

This is the prettiest hotel I have ever stayed in. There is restaurant/bar attached, so good. I think there is a buffet before 3 pm especially on the weekends. So much food. Breakfast, continental every day, some days full. Always delicious. Its hosts so many functions. It seems like there is always a wedding there.

This hotel's exterior doesn't even hint at what's inside. The area is spacious, flowing and absolutely lovely in the lobby and Waterfront restaurant. We drove all over Ireland for the past 2 weeks and this is the only hotel that had a shower curtain so the floor wasnt flooded (those half walls do nothing, especially when you can't adjust the showerhead to not spray outside the shower stall) and a bathroom exhaust fan so the mirror didnt steam over. The staff were so friendly and helpful,Orla especially, at reception. She recommended so many amazing things to do in the area. We went to some the next day and had so much fun at Hook Lighthouse, eating in Kilmore Quay and visiting Huntington Castle. The breakfast in the morning had fantastic pan au chocolate and the fried brie at Lord Bagenals restaurant was so very good. We really enjoyed our 2 nights here and would definitely stay here again.
