As the name suggests, the hotel is housed in a former school house with many original features, therefore full of charm and character. The hotel benefited from a full refurbishment in 2006, though guestrooms have kept their traditional and elegant style, and are equipped with standard amenities. The hotel's restaurant continues the traditional style, with tall ceilings and windows and wooden beams, and serves a combination of French and modern Irish dishes. The bar is popular with both locals and residents alike, and also serves light snacks and meals. Overall this hotel is a great choice for those who want something special and unique, with a central location.
