Room was nice & modern. Good beers, food was classic pub grub. Only gave 4 stars because website said there was parking but it’s limited and only available after 11 when the pub carpark clears.

Our stay was great. There is a very busy bar downstairs but the rooms were clean and quiet and nicely appointed. Parking was tight in the lot but we managed. A quick walk to The Old Schoolhouse for dinner- it was a great spot to stay before heading to the airport in morning.

Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
We booked 5 Rooms. 4 we’re ok and to a reasonable standard. However one room had a strong odour that was was incredibly heavy on your chest. Possibly chemical in order to mask something. As a asthmatic it was uninhabitable and unbearable. The place was full so they could not change. Most of the night was spent on the floor of another booked room in our party. The whole experience was horrendous even for a well seasoned traveller.

We loved The Old Borough experience. It was wonderfully restored. We loved the original fireplace in the room. Hospitality was very evident, as were thoughtful optional touches in place.

Nice overnight stay
Boutique hotel above a bustling pub in a historic building. Beautiful architectural features. Pub is a local hangout. Easy walk to Swords castle, restaurants & shopping. 5 min from airport. Enjoyed our stay. Parking lot is tiny, so if you arrive in late afternoon, they’ll have to give you a voucher to park offsite.

Great location and very convenient being over a bar and restaurant. Our room was located next to the beer garden area so it was quite noisy until about 1am. We had a flight in the morning so location was good to get to the airport early

Liked: Room comfort
Staff were friendly, room was hot and stuffy
No window, AC wasn't working. Incredibly stuffy and hot overnight. No top sheet so had to choose between no blankets or a down comforter.
