We really enjoyed our stay. The front desk staff were very helpful with suggestions of what to see in the area and provided detailed maps. We ate at the pub both nights and the food was delicious and the staff friendly. We especially enjoyed the entertainment. Our room was lovely and clean.

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
