I had a basic room, but it was nice. The grounds are beautiful and the staff was lovely. Enjoyed the bars/restaurants in walking distance. The locals were all very welcoming and friendly. About 20 minute walk to the train station that is easy transport to Croke Park in Dublin.

Had such a fantastic stay here, after our flight was canceled and we struggled to find accommodations this place accepted us. We ended up staying here for 2 nights and it was peaceful and relaxing. Beds were comfortable and the room was clean. The exterior of the property and the grounds were well maintained. The staff took great care of us.
