What our guests says about facilities

The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Delicious Dining Experience

The food served in the dining room is very good, with generous portions. I particularly enjoyed the breakfast buffet, which included pancakes and a delicious broccoli and cheese omelette. For lunch, their cold cut meats and salads were refreshing, and dinner featured exquisite shrimp scampi. The desserts, especially the blueberry pie and ice cream, were the perfect way to complete the meals. Overall, the dining experience truly exceeded my expectations!

Amazing Live Music

I loved the live music experience at this inn! The venue is intimate, which allows you to really connect with the performers, no matter where you sit. Witnessing top-level artists in such a cozy setting truly made my stay lovely. The ambiance was perfect as people of all ages gathered around, making it a vibrant and enjoyable atmosphere. I can't wait to return for more great performances!

Family-Friendly Fun

From the moment we arrived, my kids were excited! The pool area was a hit, providing endless fun. They also met new friends during our stay, and the outdoor activities were perfect for involving kids. It felt like a true family environment-my children were begging to come back after just one day! The atmosphere is very welcoming for families and creates lasting memories.

Comfortable Accommodations

The room I stayed in was perfectly comfortable and clean. While not fancy, it had all the essentials I needed, and the comfy bed ensured I slept well each night. Plus, having a nice balcony view was a good addition for morning coffee. It was such a cozy space to retreat to after a day of exploring!

Feedback from previous guests about their experience.

Joe

United States, March 2025

6.0/10

During my stay, I noticed the hotel caters mainly to families and older guests, which made my wife and I feel a bit out of place as a middle-aged couple without kids. The setting was clean and safe, with an excellent breakfast, but the dining options for lunch and dinner left a lot to be desired. Overall, while the atmosphere was welcoming, it might not suit couples looking for a more adult-focused experience.

Gavin's is a unique place that offers a warm and welcoming environment, especially for families, while providing a laid-back country experience. The facilities and dining have some notable strengths, with a good breakfast, but the dining choices for lunch and dinner fell a bit short. While some guests might feel out of place if they don't align with the usual crowd, the property has a cozy charm that many seem to love, even if there were a few inconveniences during our stay.

7.2/10

Gavin's is a charming place that offers a warm community vibe, making you feel as if you've stepped into a rural Irish setting. The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming, perfect for families and those looking to connect with others. However, it may not cater well to couples without children or those seeking a refined dining experience. The accommodations are clean but not extravagant, and the activities might be hit or miss, which could be disappointing for some guests.

Dining options were pretty good; breakfast was excellent, and lunch was fine, but dinner left something to be desired. The BBQ wasn't what I expected and felt more like a standard meal than an authentic barbecue experience.
