“The Haven, set on the Dunmore hillside, struck me as a welcoming country house, retaining a unique old-world atmosphere with its high, corniced ceilings and original features. The staff's efficiency and friendliness, along with the excellent breakfast, make it a special place to visit. In my opinion, this hotel is the perfect stopover in Dunmore East, especially if you appreciate authentic charm.”
