Excellent hotel. The whole reception and general public areas were spotlessly clean and welcoming. Evening meal was delicious. The breakfast was plentiful and very tasty. I will happily stay here again. The only negative comment (and it's not really a negative) is that there is no pool. Overall a very pleasant stay.

The hotel is just outside Cavan and easy to find. The grounds are well maintained and there is parking, although the spaces are fairly tight. Reception was welcoming and our check-in was friendly and efficient. Our bedroom was a good size and nice and bright. All the amenities you would expect, including good size fluffy towels. The beds were comfortable and we slept well. We had dinner in the bar, which has a reasonable menu. The food was tasty and hot, certainly very good portion sizes. We changed our table so we didn't have to watch the big screen tv. Breakfast is buffet apart from the hot food order. There was a good range of food available and the full Irish was very good. A couple of slight gripes, the toaster hardly warmed the bread and you are asked not to put it through again as it will burn! The mugs are only just big enough for the hot drinks despensed. We liked the decor throughout but it was a shame the display cases were dirty. The floor in the dining room got very mucky and there was a build-up of dirt around the skirting boards.

Lovely hotel, quite grand with big old-fashioned lobby. Average breakfast and rather limited bar food menu (restaurant closed when we there) but the food we had was quite good. Rooms very comfortable, spacious, super clean, brand new bathrooms. Small issues: carpet could do with replacing though and no usb sockets.

Venue is good for weddings or large parties, but for the traveler stopping for an evening, they may find the unattended children running through the halls and drunken guests loudly returning to their rooms after midnight a bit disruptive to their sleep. Elevator to second floor rooms inconveniently located, so if you have luggage be prepared to lug it up the steps. Food is fair, bar not well stocked (in terms of variety). Property is clean and grounds well-kept. Is staying in Cavan again, would likely find a B&B.

The main hotel was very comfortable. Made a dinner reservation upon check in which neither the restaurant or bar/restaurant could locate. Was seated in bar restaurant and ordered meals. After 1 hour and multiple other customers being served, we had to inquire about our order. Served 10 minutes later. Wait staff did not want to interact with us and we had to walk to the bar to pay. Absolutely terrible setvice! The next morning, went down for included breakfast which was supposed to start at 7 am. By 7:20, no cooking staff had arrived. Eventually went to McDonald's where the service was better. Based on the food service, i would not recommend this hotel even though the room was above average.

Off to a wee bit of a bad start as I was a very late arrival due to the storm & the hotel reception was locked. I had tried to contact hotel to inform them I was going to arrive late but phone lines were down due to the storm - in hindsight I should have emailed. Stay in the hotel was lovely, great room, excellent food & plenty of Guinness. Have stayed before & would definitely stay again. The hotel price is also extremely good value.

I told them that I was staying for lunch and that would be great to add this lunch on the final invoice to limit paper work and treatment of expenses. They say NO, that I have to pay now. I asked why ? They said to avoid I leave without paying... so I paid and I went to another nice restaurant in the city.

The room was very comfortable and I had one of the best night sleeps in years. The only niggle was the breakfast. I came to breakfast late and it was obvious that the contents were not freshly cooked in the “full Irish”.
