Lovely hotel. Easy free parking if staying at hotel. Dunnes, Next Tesco, McDonald's all a few min walk away. Lost of Bars and restaurants close by. We had breakfast in the hotel and it was really tasty. Staff are very friendly, especially the guy on the reception in the evenings, he recommended a few pubs for us to try with music. We were really lucky as the weather was beautiful but The rooms got a bit stuffy and I didn't realise I could turn down the heating at the radiator in the room till I was leaving.
