The Main level of the hotel is kept beautifully. Bedrooms were ok. Bathrooms need fixing up. . Beds comfortable. There was no shampoo is bathroom and the carpet needed vacuuming. Breakfast was solid. Bedrooms felt just a bit shabby.

Very nice cafe and lounge area. Good food, good service. My only complaint would be the limited number of comfortable tables in the lounge. Ie., the lounge is very nice for just lounging and having a drink, but there aren’t enough regular tables for eating dinner. They should allow customers to use the cafe tables.

Mythique hôtel, staff accueillant et déjeuner A1

Quelle chance de pouvoir dormir dans ce mythique hôtel. L’hôtel avec ses tapis bleu nous donne l’impression d’être dans un autre temps. Quoi que très bien entretenu. Nous avions une chambre de grandeur régulière avec une grade salle de bain avec un bain à pattes qui était d’une grandeur incroyable et que j’ai adoré. Que dire du petit déjeuner… OMG, on passe ici de la possibilité d’un déjeuner à la carte typiquement Irlandais… oui oui, un gros déjeuner traditionnel irlandais en y ajoutant, à notre guise, fruits variés, scones, juifs, céréales, smoothies, yogourts, et j’en passe. L’ajout de distributeur d’eau filtrée sur une étage est aussi un plus. Mais que dire du personnel tellement gentil et accueillant, les Irlandais sont des gens tellement accueillants et généreux. Je recommande sans aucune hésitation. Merci à tout le personnel du Headfort Arms

Was booked for a wedding in this hotel and had to stay the night before due to travel, to say the staff went above and beyond for us is an understatement couldn't of been more helpful ! Hotel itself is homely and friendly , really enjoyed the fact the hotel had a separate bar attached so gave an even more relaxed feel to it. 10/10 would recommend !

Ok but worn down

a bit run down and very busy staff. Not very cosy. Not clean. They should invest in a bit of a touch up (especially the rooms) - then the hotel would come to live again. Breakfast was very nice, but again not cozy breakfast room. Very dark and loud club music in the morning.
