Stayed here on a golf trip with 12 guys. We’ve never had such excellent customer service as we had at McSweeney Arms. The staff went above and beyond to make sure we had a wonderful trip. We typically go to Scotland to golf, but will come back to Ireland just to stay at this hotel. The rooms were spotless and had bathtubs. The food was excellent. Everyone was incredibly welcoming. Can’t say enough good things about our experience at this hotel. 12 cranky old guys (and two guys in their 40’s) and no one had a single complaint about our hotel all week. Thanks to the McSweeney family and staff for an excellent trip!

Guest reviews
McSweeney Arms Hotel averages 4.7 out of 5 across 516 reviews. A selection, quoted as written:
Excellent family run hotel right in the centre of town. Rooms can be noisy when there are events in town but the service is excellent, breakfast is fantastic. There is an elevator and attached bar with a tempting menu. Food quality is good. Local pay car parks are available. I found no difficulty parking even during busy periods
We were only there for one night but it was totally enjoyable. The staff, the rooms and the service were all great. They had a terrific breakfast! Could not have asked for anything more. The location was great too! Thanks!
