Covid-19 guidlines very well adhered to, location was perfect for us with Eyre Square only 20 seconds up the street, food and service were brilliant, rooms clean, great breakfast. Staff were very polite especially David the manager.

Have to say the staff were brilliant with a big shout out to Derbhla O’Connor. We were on the 4 course meal and B&b package modestly priced at 157euro.

The room was very nice, as was the bathroom in the room.
We dined in Queen Street and were disappointed on arrival to see the menu was different and smaller than the one shown on the website. The food overall was nice but nothing special. Our starters were both very nice (Caesar salad and goats cheese) however our mains were not as good (burger which was dry and fish and chips). The service in Queen Street however was amazing and all the staff were very friendly and attentive.
When leaving the bar that night we enquired what time breakfast was served until the next morning and we were told 10:30, but when we arrived for breakfast at 10:10 the following morning we were told breakfast had stopped being served which was again, disappointing as we had breakfast included in our stay. The girl who was in the restaurant cleaning up told us we could take any of the continental breakfast that had not been put away yet back up to our room with us which we did.
Despite these few things, we still had a lovely stay and would return sometime in the future.read moreread lessThe Converted Camper Man 4/04/2016cant fault the place had a great stay highly recommendread moreread less
