[H2] Our visitors say it all

“We had the pleasure of both staying here for three nights and eating dinner in Noel's restaurant one night. Service is excellent, you are always greeted with friendly staff throughout the hotel. The food was excellent. I had the prawn & calamari followed by steak and frangipan with vanilla ice cream. The frangipan was warm and fresh and delicious. Noel and his family are warm and welcoming and we will definitely return in the future.”

“My niece and I enjoyed our two night stay here. We found our room to be cozy, clean, and comfortable, and we slept well both nights. The staff at reception and in the breakfast room were pleasant and helpful. It was only a short 5 minute walk to Bunratty castle for their medieval banquet. All in all a very nice stay.”

[H4] (Trip Advisor)

“The hotel was brilliantly situated to explore the wonderful village of Bunratty. It was also well placed as a base for day trips to Limerick, Adare, Ennis and the Burren region. We arrived via Shannon Airport and the hotel was very easy to find. Once there, we were delighted with the standard of service in every aspect. The front of house staff were exceptional, both in terms of their friendly service and helpfulness. Our room was a triple( there were three friends sharing), and it was beautifully appointed and the beds were very comfortable. The room and general feeling of the hotel was boutique chic. The restaurant was wonderful and the staff very friendly. Breakfast was delicious. I have absolutely no hesitation recommending this hotel.”

[H4] E B - London, United Kingdom

“This sweet little hotel was the perfect place to begin our trip to Ireland; not a b&b and not a “brand”, it was just right. A short drive from the Shannon airport, this clean and comfortable room gave us a lovely starting point. A niceup to-date-bathroom with a great shower helped us adjust to the time change, along with a well made drink at the bar. The staff was especially helpful and friendly. Breakfast was great. Being within walking distance of the Bunratty Folk Park and near Cliffs of Moher was a plus. When we make our way back to the area, we will surely stay here again. ”
