I was a bridesmaid at my best friend’s wedding here. Everything was just fantastic, but the staff are by far this location’s biggest gem! They were incredible from the time we got there the night before the wedding to the delicious breakie the morning after. Couldn’t recommend this place enough!

We travelled over from England to stay at Clanard Court as we had a family wedding there & thought it made sense to stay in the same hotel as the wedding.
