This place was lovely and a quick walk into town. We took in a play at the local theatre and it was the best I’ve seen in ages- laughed all the way through and only 15 euros (Carnegie players). Highly recommend this hotel we loved our stay here.

The hotel staff were extremely friendly and helpful. We particularly enjoyed using the pool before breakfast when it wasn't busy. We felt there wasn't enough social space to sit and have a coffee and chat with other guests. There also seemed to be a problem with the courtyard bar which wasn't open during our stay.
