We stayed in Cong because we had heard it was a lovely village. We booked online & thought that it was fairly expensive but usually you get what you pay for. We found the hotel with out any problems and were directed to park at the rear. We grabbed our bags etc and headed into the back door. I was... More

The road is about 1 meter from your head as you sleep. That's all I can be bothered saying! The service was however fantastic, it is basically just an old hotel on the main road. More

After spending a weekend in this beautilful family run hotel, myself and my husand are already planning our next visit! Next time we would like to bring our friends to share the comfortable and warm irish ambiance this hotel oozes.

Everyone at the hotel, bar and restaurant... More
