"First time in Ireland. This was our first experience during our stay and couldn’t be more impressed. Wish we stayed the entire trip. Hospitality was next level, truly. Rooms were updated, fresh pastries delivered to your door each morning, stocked fridge with meat, cheese, grapes, sparkling apple juice, fresh milk, water… just incredible. My wife had the best espresso martini she’s ever had in the (I think new?) pub/restaurant attached. And, the town… AMAZING. Picturesque. It felt like a story book- the quaint feeling, amazing food, bell tower, everything. Won’t be back for a few years I’d suspect, but when we do, there’s no way we don’t stay here. Slainte to the entire staff, and the entire town, for that matter."

"Great hotel with easy access to local attractions/walks and the bus service to Bray station to get the Dart train to Dublin was so easy. The hotel was very clean and our room was a great size with amazing water pressure for showering. All the staff were very helpful and the buffet breakfast was incredible ; lots of choice and very tasty cooked items. Would definitely recommend staying here and we would go back!!"
