The Butler Arms is the perfect combination of old world charm and elegance with modern fixtures, furnishings, and food! We stayed there for two nights in a suite that overlooked the bay. Originally we had booked only one night, but soon after seeing the room and the view, we had to book another. We were treated like old friends from the pleasant staff. Thank you to specifically Javier at reception who was amazing, even on his first day! Breakfast was included and incredible, much more elevated than the “full Irish” you may find at other places. Go, spend a little extra and book the suite. You won’t regret it.

Excellent rooms with beautiful view of the water. Friendly staff and all around great stay. Highly recommend!
Liked our stay at this hotel for sure. Family room so spacious (biggest we have stayed in) with access to a little lawn outside and chairs. Staff very friendly. Big snooker table there and very clean. Central location Food in restaurant was fine. For a hotel it was ok. Would have liked a nicer vegetarian option. They did a pasta dish on request which was nice of them. My husband got Chicken supreme and it was like a nice. Would stay here again.
