This is a very old hotel, and that brings its own charm, but it also brings some discomfort relative to modern buildings. The pub served decent food.

We had a fantastic weekend with you The lodge was quiet and pleasant. The hotel was busy both evenings with a wedding and after(hurling?) match but bar and waiting staff were coping admirably and had time for us. The food both evening and breakfast were first class. We would certainly come again if we visit the area

Billed as the oldest hotel in Ireland (est. 1608), the property does not reflect its age. It is in good shape, conveniently located, with nice facilities and a nice staff. The pub had live music and a rollicking scene on a Monday night. I’d stay there again.
