The location was great. The hotel generally pretty comfortable. The olde worked atmosphere and the mini museum was a bonus. The room was a very generous size and was comfortable enough with two exceptions… see below.

The head of the shower was missing so the water came out in a jet. When we complained, we were, to their credit offered another room, but we were already settled in. They said they would fix the shower when we went out. Only after our second request was the shower head fixed and then it worked well for our last night. The bed / mattress seemed a little worn and tended to sag a bit towards the middle

Staff were brilliant throughout our short stay. The Mr Collins room where we stayed was atmospheric and oldie worldie, the same room Michael Collins stayed in during those heady Irish independent days. You could nearly feel his presence! The location in the main street of Carrick was perfect. The restaurant, Di Vino , was just around the corner, and the food was excellent where the wine list was superb and the owner, Ivan, a true Napolitan gentleman. When we next come to Carrick, we'll do it all again, including our two pints of Guinness at Mc Hughes and Cryan's pubs, where the staff, and pints, were exceptional

All perfect!

The convenience of the hotel, really close to all the bars, really liked the history and memorabilia scatter throughout the hotel, the breakfast was really nice we had a small irish and the beds where very comfortable, the lady who check us in was very nice and friendly, we would stay again

Room was abit dated and had abit of signs of wear and tear but didn't affect our stay as it is only a Base we weren't in it for very long, the only other thing is maybe the night porter needs to have both guest names on his list as he only had mine and couldn't confirm my husband was with me without checking at the desk first, luckily the lady who checked us in was still there and could confirm my husband was with me, it was all very quick and efficient though.

The room was perfect we did not have breakfast as we were on the road early we did have a drink in the bar and this was very enjoyable although just one lady on the bar serving meals taking orders etc so we had to wait quite a while to get served but she did apologise for keeping us waiting, also on Tuesday morning i went to reception to ask for some more milk to have a coffee in my room and the lady on reception got me a small jug of fresh milk, very helpful staff

waiting times at the bar on Monday evening resulting in us only having one drink there and then going out elsewhere

We had to change the date of our arrival because of weather conditions and this was no problem. I informed the hotel prior to our stay that we were celebrating our anniversary. Our room was upgraded free of charge. No.(62). The room was one of the best and most comfortable rooms that we have ever stayed in. The bathroom was wonderful, it had a great shower and a jacuzzi bath for your convenience. WOW!!. Thank you bush hotel for helping us have a wonderful and unforgettable anniversary. We will be back. 10/10.

Breakfast was very good and staff were brilliant. Not a good sign though of cartons of juice (kaluna) in the fridge to refill the jugs as you are offering fresh juice (which should be at the price)..hide the cartons! Also no yogurt available ..otherwise lovely breakfast and very attentive staff.

Paying what we did for 1 night and having to negotiate buggys and meeting people in lifts with nightwear (dressing gown) was quite surprising to say the least! Everyone has an entitlement to accomodation i accept but when paying for the privilege expect certain standards.

The location is excellent. The staff were just so friendly and helpful. Everyone was willing to help in any way. The room was lovely but personally we prefer a king bed. The double bed is quite small for two adults

The only fault we have is that we felt it was very overpriced for the type of hotel it is. The facilities are limited and it is more of a boutique hotel. We paid €657 for 3 nights and that was room only. We thought at that price we should at least have breakfast included. That was very disappointing. When I saw the breakdown we paid €300 for the Sat night and that I thought was an outrageous price

Lovely hotel suited our needs perfectly. Central location allowed you to be close to everything. staff were very professional and helpful. Bistro Barman was really lovely and courtious. It was a positive experience. And the amenities surrounding the hotel were lovely.

For us, there was nothing to complain about. Everything was as it should be.

Oldness is coolness and The Bush has it in spades. From the welcoming lobby to the staircase and 'ol room, it has a feeling of history. My room had an extraordinary feature: a big mad gothic stained glass window on the inside wall, it was beautiful. Bottled water and Netflix make it that little bit better and the comfortable bed, solid heating and tremendous shower clinch the deal. Bonus was Dr Clodagh giving medical instructions. First rate.

This is an old hotel who offer good old fashioned hospitality, not many frills but very comfortable, excellently located and very good value for money. We will definitely use it as a base to explore the area in the future.

Limited bar options on the night we stayed but this really wasn't a problem as there are so many options on the doorstep.
