10/10 Excellent

This property is centrally located with pedestrian only streets directly out the back door (the pub door is on the main road!) The beds were comfy and room was clean. We loved being greeted by OG, the cat! Staff were excellent. All in all, a great stay and base for exploring county clare!
Logan, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

Its ok. Not great, not bad. Kind of expensive.
Wade, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Based on reviews, and compared to other properties on our trip, I expected a bit more. There was no help with bags at reception and no elevator to help manage suitcases, so we had to navigate some steep stairs. Dinner was delicious but breakfast was just ok. Service staff was hit or miss with some very delightful people and others that were almost dismissive. The bathroom shower was downright hazardous as it required standing in a slippery bathtub - there was a runner mat but it slid around and was worse than nothing.
Chris, 1-night trip
