Hatchet Inn in

14/08/2025: Wonderful place in a beautiful location. Very friendly too. Had some descent beers on and the food was great.

07/08/2025: Once a traditional hostel, this beautifully transformed historic house now blends the comfort and elegance of a boutique hotel with the friendly, communal spirit of a hostel. The private rooms are located in the main house, and I loved the colourful and artistic decor Alice has created. It gives it a stylish and eclectic atmosphere without loosing the spirit of the historic manor home I am visiting now since over 30 years. A generous continental breakfast, complete with Irish soda bread is served in the stately dining room which becomes a restaurant by night. Excellent food is also served in the pub or adjacent patio. A bonus is the cottage style kitchen located in the former stables which is available for all guests. This is also where Pat and Alice placed the most famous table of all of Ireland. The Valley House is a wonderful, welcoming place I was happy to see is coming back to its former splendour without loosing its friendliness.
