Staff was helpful. Entire facility was clean and inviting. We love the pub with authentic Irish faire. Our biggest disappointment was the furniture. None of it was comfortable in either our room or in the library.

We chose Irish Cottage as an after Holiday couples vaca. The spa was wonderful, we enjoyed eating at the pub and our room was cozy, the only thing that could have made our visiy better is a newer mattress. I spoke with staff at checkout and they ensured me new mattresses are being purchased in phases. I recommend the Irish Cottage.
