We stayed here last year when we walked the Suir. This time, after walking the Barrow Way, there was no question but that we would detour to stay here again. We were checked in by the very friendly and helpful receptionist. She brought us up to our room and ensured everything was ship-shape. There is a lift. The room was - again - 4-star international hotel standard, big, with a large table and two comfortable chairs. The AC is modern, effective - and almost silent. Six USB ports. Very good WiFi. The modern bathroom, which has underfloor heating, was top class. Great shower. Room and bathroom were spotlessly clean. Every fitting is to a very high standard. We had a comfortable night's sleep. No traffic noise, as the rooms are to the rear. We had dinner in the attached restaurant. Pub/restaurant fare. Good range of dishes on the menu, not just the usual burgers. The menu seemed wider than we remembered from last year. We had delicious starters (a chowder and a prawn dish) and then mains of seafood linguine and of Chicken curry. The linguine dish was really disappointing. But the waitress was excellent and sorted it immediately. The full Irish breakfast was excellent. The scrambled egg less so. Very good coffee. Our overall sense was that the kitchen wasn’t up to the same high standard as last time. But the staff are first class.
