Pros +
- Every thing was convenient, the staff friendly and very accommodating. Kudos to pat and staff, food was good
- Located above the bar. Very unique experience and convenient location to the town. The food here was impeccable!
- Room was recently remodeled, great shower, large room. Pub downstairs and all employees were fantastic, food excellent too!
Cons -
- The stairs leading up to the rooms could be replaced as well as some fresh paint but that is very minor. Check out was a bit confusing. We had an early flight the next morning and walked downstairs to find the place pitch black and the doors locked. Unfortunately, because we left so early the breakfast available were a few boxes of cereal without milk. We were unsure if when we unlocked the doors to leave if an alarm would go off or not.
- The rooms needed repairs and maintenance. Carpets were dirty and worn. Window glass in room was broken. Exposed wiring in places. Issues go beyond decorating updates, etc. Several of the previous recent reviews did not match our experience.
- It was absolutely disgusting the carpet in the bedroom had stains and dirt all over it, in every part of the room was dirty, there was a cable tacked to the carpet and running along the wall, the blind on the window was filthy and ripped, the waste bin looked like someone had been sick in it. it the dirt on the velux window and spider webs above the bed were awful, there was no mattress protecter on the bed.the bathroom had a broken mirror the toilet had stains in it, there was no lid for the toilet seat, the bedside lamps were flashing and flickering there was an exposed electrical output behind the door the light above the bed was so dirty it looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in many years, the lock on the door was not secure, we were told we were not above the bar but we were, the noise went on till 1:30am in the morning with people partying. You couldn’t pay me a million euros to stay night in this place absolutely vile and disgusting.

The staff was friendly and helpful. They let us use the washer and dryer, which was helpful. The pub on the main level with local patrons was fun. They were friendly and welcoming.

Lovely atmosphere. Wonderful Staff . Food was excellent.
We got the loveliest welcome from the staff and there was a friendly and open atmosphere all round. Great location and lovely cosy atmosphere in the pub. The kitchen stayed open for a few extra minutes to take our late dinner order which we really appreciated. Great value for money we will definitely be back
The room was lovely and the bed was comfy but some of the bed cushions were visibly stained and dirty looking
Welcoming staff, clean rooms
Breakfast could be served earlier than 9, we were under pressure to leave before 9.20. However staff member were very accommodating and served breakfast to us after 11
Parking staff prices food manager
The bed was rock solid but everythinv else was fab its a pub b+b will go back
Very cozy and authentic. Staff are so friendly and accommodating. Good food and amazing coffee.
Fantastic old Irish pub. Lovely atmosphere. Great location and near center parcs. Awesome breakfast. Nice big room with comfortable bed.
Room was freezing cold and never warmed up despite promise of the manager. 2 ladies were shown to the adjacent room by staff at 01:30 in the morning with both the staff and the visitors speaking at full volume without appreciation for others staying. This lead to a disturbed nights sleep.

staff were very friendly. We had a really good dinner in the pub and loved the atmosphere
We could hear the shower dripping.
Stayed here on numerous occasions, is it a 4 or 5 star hotel, no, but a nice relaxing place with a nice bar good food,a lovely breakfast in the morning
I have no complaints
The food was good and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The pub is very popular, and full of craic. It's a great place for dinner and pints.
Because the pub is so popular, and hosts parties, it was very busy and loud the night I stayed. Additionally, the shower in my room would randomly fluctuate between hot and cold water and good pressure to a dribble. It also dripped loudly all night, filling the bathroom with steam.
Deceiving from the outside, amazing on the inside. Parking right outside the door. The beer, the staff, the locals, the welcome. Dog friendly,
