My dad is from Ballyvaughan so have been coming here since a child but always stayed at his family home. The hotel is lovely and the pub great and really enjoyed the trad music on Sunday afternoon. Great food and nice friendly staff. I will definitely stay again and hopefully you will have Greene's open by then as that is a fabulous proper Irish pub too

We arrived quite a bit early and were given a warm welcome with tea and told we could sit by the fire until our rooms were ready. The inn was clean and comfortable and well situated within the little town. We enjoyed the live music in the pub every night and the breakfast every morning. We would stay here again.
