Lorraine 9/10

Ireland 🇮🇪

Pros: Lovely place, fantastic location opposite the Castle. The staff were lovely, the food was excellent. A bath in the bathroom was a great and very welcome bonus. Would definitely stay here again.

Cons: Unfortunately, there was no hot water - not sure if that was because it was evening time. We didn't mention it at the time - the other facilities more than made up for it.

Fantastic! Thank you!

Pros: A great place to stay if you want a break from Albergues on the Camino. It’s in a great location, right in the old town. The room is perfect - it has air con!!! The staff are so friendly and helpful. They were very kind to me when my cards were stolen and I had trouble withdrawing cash. They made a bad day, a better day! The bar below serves good food for lunch and tapas for dinner. I would highly recommend.

Great location and lovely ambience

Pros: Right on the Camino. Lovely olde-world feel to the place. Terrific view of the castle and it was great to relax after a day's walking with a glass of wine enjoying the view and watching people go by!

Great stay.

Pros: Great location. We had a room at the back of the property with a balcony onto a small lane. As there was a festival on this meant we had peace and quiet. Good restaurant on site.
