Right in the centre of town, the Shirley Arms has a warm stone exterior, behind which lies a superb family-run hotel. White linens, walnut floors and modern bathrooms give the rooms a contemporary flair. The open-plan bar and lounge create an informal setting for excellent Irish classics, which are also served at its elegant restaurant (mains €16 to €38).
Family rooms sleep four.
It's a popular wedding venue, so be sure to book ahead, especially on weekends.
