Hats off to chef Ben his menu is incredible honestly the best food we have ever eaten. We had dinner the first night and decided to cancel a booking we had for the second night just so we could try more of Bens dishes. We can’t wait to return in august. Also hats off to manager David for running such a great team. It’s Not very often you see that anymore. Even the security doorman was so friendly ensuring we got a nice table out the front when it became available. Thanks again guys. See you soon.

From the friendly welcome at check in where the very pleasant receptionist (from Derry) assisted us to move rooms to suit my preferences, the friendly and helpful breakfast server (from Laois) Dearbhla in the restaurant and the lovely Lisa who checked us, the staff are fabulous without fault. The bedrooms are clean and comfy with tea/coffee facilities, safe, hairdryer, toiletries and a television.
We had bed and breakfast with evening meal and everything we ate was delicious and well presented.
Parking was not on site but a few minutes walk to a multi storey car park and free parking with the card from the car park.
Location is perfect with a few minutes walk to the Main Street and within walking distance to most tourist sites.
Definitely well worth a stay and we are now looking forward to an excuse to return. read lessStaying in Victoria Hotel We had a great time in the Victoria Hotel, great central location,... read moreWe had a great time in the Victoria Hotel, great central location, only a couple of minutes from Shop Street.
