The Portcullis Hotel

We stayed here for 2 nights when attending a wedding in the town hall . The location is excellent. I was a bit worried by all the negative reviews I read the night before we travelled, however while the accommodation is very basic it is priced accordingly. The room was clean as were the bedding and towels. The beds were comfortable, there was a mini fridge, a kettle and tea/ coffee provided. The bathroom was basic but clean and functional . When we checked in we were warned about the late night events on Friday and Saturday so when we came back we just bought a bottle of wine and sat in the smoking area and enjoyed the craic. The DJ played a terrific selection of 80s music which was right up our street . The pub closed promptly at 1am and it was very quiet then. The beds were comfortable and we slept well. I had thought that breakfast was included and that I'd seen something online about a restaurant but didn't see any sign of it when we were there. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The girl who checked us in was lovely and when I asked brought an iron and ironing board to the room . The iron was excellent . Another member of staff who has an adorable wee dog called Marley brought us extra milk immediately when asked. The second night we went to bed at 12.15. We couldn't hear the music just some indistinct chatter from below but not enough to put us off sleeping. Again at 1am the pub was cleared and silence reigned. Check out was 10am and very quick.
