Short Family Break
“As a local who now lives in London, it is great to have a really nice hotel so close to Tipperary Town. With 2 very active teenage boys there was plenty to occupy them. The onsite facilities were well used and the for us to play a round of golf on a great course was fantastic. The food was great for breakfast and throughout the day and evening. The staff were very attentive and professional and really nice. My wife and I really enjoyed our stay and it was a great place to meet our local family and friends and catch up with them in the evening in the bar. All in all a great short break.”
