The hotel is centrally located in the charming town of Blarney overlooking the Village Green, making it perfect for exploring the area. While the service was friendly and accommodating, the noise level from the bar downstairs could be disruptive at night. The dining experience, especially breakfast, was top-notch, but the room's thin walls made it challenging to get a good night's sleep.

My stay at the hotel was a bit of a mixed experience. The room was uncomfortably hot, and the noise from the band made it hard to sleep, although the view of the castle was nice. The service was incredibly friendly and helpful, making us feel welcome right away. The location was perfect for visiting Blarney Castle, with a traditional Irish atmosphere. The dining was not included, but the staff made us feel welcome and the breakfast was delightful. Overall, a stay with highs and lows.

The hotel had a unique and quirky charm that matched our expectations. Although the room had a blind that couldn't be opened, making check-in with bags difficult during busy times, it was right above the bar where a band played on Saturday night.

The room was quaint and quirky as we had imagined, but the inability to open the blind was a bit inconvenient, especially during crowded check-ins.
