We stayed here before lockdown at the Great Southern, it was a fantastic get away, from the moment we arrived throughout our stay until departure everything was exceptional. The Covid procedures were followed, we felt very safe at all times. Can’t wait to return once restrictions are eased. Until then stay safe.

Our third time staying at the Great Southern in December 2020. Everything was fantastic at the hotel from arrival to departure. The hotel was beautifully decorated for Christmas, and as we got an upgrade, there was even a Christmas tree in our bedroom! A hotel is only as good as its staff, and they were so friendly, helpful and kind, any request looked after. Stayed for 3 days, Wish we could have stayed longer. We will be back in 2021 when lockdowns are lifted. Old world charm with modern comforts!
