Great accommodation above a bar! The room was quite lovely, with a nice view out of the window and nice decorations inside the room. The welcoming sweets in the room were a nice touch. All amenities in the room was good. I could not ask for a better location. Felt very safe in the area. It is right in the area with restaurants, cafes, and shops. Walking distance from the train station as well. I would certainly stay here again on my next visit.

The room was very clean and comfy. Only problem was we couldn't open the window! Beds were superb. Doggies were well received - there's even a dog menu at the restaurant (not sure what it includes as our dogs had their own food). We ate at the restaurant, pub food, all very good. Wifi was good and much needed as we were reluctant to use the post-Brexit roaming (expensive!). No noise at all through the night. We had breakfast the next morning, which was great even if we didn't take the cooked British breakfast option. There is a lovely park and forest across the road, perfect to walk dogs before and after dinner, and also before getting on the road again.

olde world charm mixed with modern facilities but it was the people, both staff and customers, that made our stay memorable. Host Kerry demonstrated that nothing was too much trouble. Customers Joe, Davy and Graham provided interesting, and often hilarious, craic. A great range of beers in the bar and a sumptuous breakfast rounded off a great stay.

Such a lovely place! The staff were incredibly friendly - it was like having family around. If there was anything I needed I knew it was no problem to ask. The room and bed was lovely and comfortable and smelt amazing. I need to know what scent they use in the rooms! Breakfast and dinner were also delicious. If you're looking for a cosy place with lovely clean and warm rooms, friendly staff and excellent dining, pick this one! I'm going to tell my family to stay here when next in town.

    I liked the cozy atmosphere of the Victoria Inn, the friendliness of the staff. My bed was very comfortable and the room including the bathroom was very clean. I really appreciated that I was provided two bottles of water everyday free of charge, as well as a selection of tea bags and coffee-

    The staff who were from another inn to cover were fabulous. They worked really hard supporting the guests needs as best they could. Evening meal choices limited. However, what was ordered was fresh and well presented.
