Difficult to rate this hotel. You could have a great time or a miserable time depending on when you stay and what room you're in. Read the 'poor' reviews carefully as many of the complaints are justified. This is a really busy,touristy hotel with coaches as well as locals using its bars and facilities.So many people to cater for makes... more

THE Abbey sums up pretty much everything that is wrong with Irish hotels. We booked in for a friend's wedding which was held on a Saturday. The first problem was that the car park is actually a good 200 yard walk away from the hotel. This wasa major problem as we had suitcases to carry plus our baby - not... more

Rooms were very old fashioned, blankets on beds were stained as was the carpet. Fusty smell in room. Checked out after one night due to... more

What can I say that you have to go to find out how good it is. We had arrived on a Sunday and had entertainment for the three nights we stayed. Staff were wonderful, food was great and rooms are lovely. Will be going back for more fun. Can be busy on Saturday nights with disco but we loved it. more

just returned from our first Irish holiday. The Abbey hotel was our first sample of Irish hospitality, and we could not fault it in any way. well maybe one way- the food was too good and the helpings too big [ weightwatchers here we come ]. The bar and restaurant staff . were most helpful and efficient. Congratulations to you... more
