olde world charm mixed with modern facilities but it was the people, both staff and customers, that made our stay memorable. Host Kerry demonstrated that nothing was too much trouble. Customers Joe, Davy and Graham provided interesting, and often hilarious, craic. A great range of beers in the bar and a sumptuous breakfast rounded off a great stay.

I liked the cozy atmosphere of the Victoria Inn, the friendliness of the staff. My bed was very comfortable and the room including the bathroom was very clean. I really appreciated that I was provided two bottles of water everyday free of charge, as well as a selection of tea bags and coffee-

The staff who were from another inn to cover were fabulous. They worked really hard supporting the guests needs as best they could. Evening meal choices limited. However, what was ordered was fresh and well presented.
