We stayed here on the last weekend of August. I was pleasantly taken aback when we entered the bar, it was very well kept and we were welcomed with a smile by the lady behind the bar.
You do the check in process at the bar and are given 3 keys. The accommodation it located upstairs and all the rooms appeared to have been recent refurbished to a very high standard. Our bed was extremely comfortable and the shower was excellent, providing excellent power and instant hot water. The only downside to our room location was that it was located next to another bar so there was some outside night on the 2nd night but it wasnt enough to keep me from having a sound nights sleep.
The breakfast is served at the rear of the bar, the great thing is, it doesnt have a fixed time, which can be great for those who may want a lie in. The breakfast is either a full Irish or a mini Irish breakfast or cereal. It was all cooked perfect and served with plenty of tea/orange juice & toast/brown bread. The manager/owner checked in from time to time to ensure we were all satisfied.
The check out process was very straight forward, pay at the bar on your way out and received a huge thank you.
I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking to stay in Waterville. Looking forward to returning in the future.
