Myself and my wife stayed in the Arbutus hotel for one night. I can safely say it is one of the best hotels we have stayed in. The staff are very friendly and courteous. The attention to detail is very impressive. It has a very central location also. We stayed on a Friday night- pity there was no music in... More

Absolute Perfection doesn't come near enough describing how this hotel is run and cared for by its staff, management and owners, their attention to detail is mind blowing and must have taken years of learning, knowhow and listening to guest feedback to reach this level of perfection.

Sean was so helpful in guiding us through the area with excellent suggestions. The hotel is cozy and clean. It is definitely dated, but charming. We came in... More

Not knowing what to choose, we relied on TripAdvisor for our hotels during an Ireland vacation. The Arbutus turned out to be a solid choice. A little rustic compared to a Mariott Courtyard, its a nice place, clean, with upgraded bathrooms and free wifi. The rooms are nice enough although the TV is quite small with few channels. I say...
