From the minute you walk in the door at reception you know this is a special place to be. The staff are so engaging and friendly and can't do enough for you. The room we were given was spotlessly clean and very well appointed. At dinner that evening was fantastic and everything was served with a smile and a bit of crack. Menu was great with plenty to cater for all tastes and was cooked to perfection. The only downside was that were only staying for 1 night. We were over for a wedding and stayed another 2 nights at Cabra castle. If we are back in this area again we will definitely be staying at the Shirley.
