Loved the hotel and staff! We were supposed to stay for 2 nights but plans with others changed. We were so disappointed we could not stay the 2nd night.😔 Of the 9 hotels we stayed at during our 3 weeks in Ireland/Northern Ireland the Horse & Jockey Hotel was our favorite!

Brilliant minus the shower issues
We have stay here a number of times and always enjoy our stay. The only issue we had was with the bathroom, so when you had a shower the water was not draining freely so it meant that the water went to above your ankles and the shower gel pump was not working so we could not use itr and ended up using the soap that was located in the sink which meant you had to get out of the shower to get to it and then jump back in, you may think just go and buy some but we were attending a family funeral and had no time to do this if you know what Irish funerals are about
