"I was visiting my mum in hospital - good location of hotel meant I could easily access local transport, and a bus connection to the airport etc. Wonderful quality Irish food. Loved the Breakfast - really set me up for the busy days. Also, very useful to be able to return to hotel, after a day at hospital, to hearty bar food,served up to 9pm. Staff very nice - as someone, originally, from Ireland, I really appreciated that there were Irish staff /accents around me. Also useful, was the hotel allowing me to store my case, whilst I could do my final hospital visit, of the trip."
