Patrick was our very gracious host. He has a quiet manner and soft-spoken voice, but with a quick Irish wit and humor. The room was exactly what we had hoped for, and Patrick helped us quickly feel at home, so to speak. We settled in fairly quickly and set out on a walk to the Rock of Cashel. Patrick is located just around the corner and down the hill from it. Impressively close, it is. There are several good restaurants and pubs (serving food as well) within a close walk.
