Daisy's Assessment
Researched and verified. Not yet personally stayed.
“A four-star castle hotel in Straffan village, about 30 minutes from Dublin Airport. It keeps a dedicated pet-friendly room, and dogs can join you in the Garden Bar conservatory and on the patio. It works well as a first or last night in Ireland with a dog.
