"Weekend Stay"

The Irish Cottage Inn & Suites has a nice ambience. The food and drinks were very good with numerous culinary options. The rooms and facility were clean. The furniture in our room was a bit “tired,” but over all it was a lovely space. Loved the history of the Ireland Counties on the wall! Just happened that I was in the room which touted my ancestry!
