Positive: The pub serves delicious food in an incredibly quaint 130 year old pub, and the rooms are modern and very comfortable, with wonderful beds, quality linens and towels, a medium sized work desk with a comfortable chair, and great showers. I checked in at 4, did computer work for about 90 minutes in my room (internet worked great), moved to the pub to enjoy a few hours of traditional Irish music played by locals, and finished the night off with a hearty meal in the restaurant side of the pub. Breakfast was served in the same room the next morning and included a sufficiently large selection of fresh made items. The Rusty Mackerel makes a great starting point for exploring the surrounding area.
Negative: Nothing !
Summary: Awesome local music, great food, and a comfortable, clean modern room!
