Comfortable Stay with Friendly Service

Very comfortable bed with ample pillows. Great service. A plus is the hot breakfast that is included with your stay. Also fun to see Irish Dancing in the pub on Saturday evening and folk-pop singer on Sunday evening. All the staff were extremely friendly and attentive.
