The Horse and Jockey was a great place to spend a few nights and have day trips around Ireland. It was really hot when we were there and they brought a fan to our room, that was great. The shampoo and body wash smell amazing! The breakfast was great and the servers were so nice each morning. I would definitely stay there again.

Our room did not have air conditioning which we didn’t realize when we checked in. It got warm and they offered the option for us to move but we are already settled in for a longer stay. Be sure to request an air conditioned room.
