I stayed with my sister recently and it was perfect. The staff are incredibly helpful and it's a lovely homely atmosphere. It's a quiet hotel with no large parties which we really appreciated, saying that there was no issue staying up late at the bar! The manager also kindly offered to take us to the bus stop on leaving. I would highly recommend and it would be my choice when I return.

This hotel will not disappoint, the breakfast was the best I’ve ever had on the island of Ireland. The hotel itself is spotless & the staff are so friendly & efficient. It is a credit to the owner, Michael, who is ever present on the establishment. Dinner is a must have also.
Extremely impressed with all aspects of our stay in this hotel. Breakfast was outstanding; wide array of gluten-free options available. Highly recommend.
