The Abby is a beautiful place all rooms are lovely if you have the money go high end. It is a place to spend more than one night. Do go to the champagne introduction your first night. We missed until the last night and were sorry. Don't miss the walk to the castle ruin, it was great to walk around a ruin at your own pace without hundreds of other people on your heals. The Abby is a great resting place on a long trip, nice shopping within walking distance, great food, and live music you don't have to go out for. It is the place I would most like to return to in Ireland.
