We booked 5 Rooms. 4 we’re ok and to a reasonable standard. However one room had a strong odour that was was incredibly heavy on your chest. Possibly chemical in order to mask something. As a asthmatic it was uninhabitable and unbearable. The place was full so they could not change. Most of the night was spent on the floor of another booked room in our party. The whole experience was horrendous even for a well seasoned traveller.

Our stay was great. There is a very busy bar downstairs but the rooms were clean and quiet and nicely appointed. Parking was tight in the lot but we managed. A quick walk to The Old Schoolhouse for dinner- it was a great spot to stay before heading to the airport in morning.

We were initially very excited to stay at this hotel.. however, the pictures of the rooms and the one we got were entirely different. There wasn’t any stone feature wall in our room, there wasn’t even a window. The corners of the room and walls were extremely dusty where I had to wet a hand towel and wipe them down. I don’t think the room had been properly vacuumed in a while. At least the linens were clean and the washroom surfaces were decent. Overall, disappointed with the room at this hotel.

Nice overnight stay
Boutique hotel above a bustling pub in a historic building. Beautiful architectural features. Pub is a local hangout. Easy walk to Swords castle, restaurants & shopping. 5 min from airport. Enjoyed our stay. Parking lot is tiny, so if you arrive in late afternoon, they’ll have to give you a voucher to park offsite.

Very close to the airport (8-10 min). Hotel pub food was good (I really liked my pizza) and was easy to order online from the table or at the bar, then delivered hot to the table. Drinks were pretty inexpensive and coffee/tea/espresso in the morning was bottomless. Our room was very quiet. No window but a skylight that could open for a breeze and a shade that could be closed for darkness. The whole room looks like it had been recently updated and did have its own thermostat which was nice as we prefer cooler sleeping temps. Everything was clean. Parking out front was limited but we arrived early enough (2:30) so there were lots of spaces. Check in for the rooms is done at the bar. Overall, it was a quick night for us as we were heading for the airport early to return our rental but it was a good place to rest our weary bodies.
