Restaurant was very good
No air conditioner. Pipes make a lot of noise throughout the night.
I liked the ambience, quietness of my bedroom, food and friendly staff.
Nothing. I have stayed here before and I will always return.
Central location, cosy accommodation. Very helpful staff.
So clean, staff were exceptionally friendly, we were visiting for a nearby wedding and the team facilitated an early check in for us saving us a lot of stress and hassle - much appreciated!
Cosy...not small..nice bar and bar food. Plenty of parking out back.
Location central and very comfortable. Food was delicious.
Clean, spacious room - lovely staff
A lovely hotel in a great location. Our room was spacious & comfortable. We enjoyed breakfast, lots of choice & friendly staff. We also had dinner in the restaurant & the bar, a great menu & superb food. Having onsite parking was a bonus. All in all a great stay & will definitely be back.
location was easy to find. breakfast was great. lady at reception was lovely,very helpful.
weather was terrible.
Nice spacious, clean room, staff very friendly and helpful.
Lack of control over the room heating, seems to be on a timer, room was very cold when we arrived and we had to wait for the timer to kick in before we could turn on the radiator
Location and breakfast
The receptionist on check in was not very friendly and we had booked out nearly the whole hotel with friends and family. The receptionist on later that day was very nice though. Its expensive for a small town but location you cant beat.
Great location for guests attending a wedding at Cabra Castle. Special appreciation for Aileen at the reservations desk, who could not have been more accommodating and kind as we had numerous changes to the numbers and types of rooms and some special requests that she had probably never encountered before! Aileen made a stressful time (planning an overseas wedding) so much smoother -- her professionalism was greatly appreciated! The hotel is a boutique property in the heart of Carrickmacross, with easy access to any services you may need, and the onsite restaurant is excellent!
the rooms were clean and comfortable, with good size bathroom and tea and coffee facilities available
the Bar was under construction which meant that another room was used which was not as comfortable
Beautiful hotel with a great location.
TV screens showing football in every part of the bar, a quite area would have been nice.
Restaurant was very good
No air conditioner. Pipes make a lot of noise throughout the night.
Lovely staff, spacious room, and in an adorable town!
Location, comfort, atmosphere and food.
No complaints about anything.
