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.
