- Kieran Ireland“Great spot away from the village to avoid noise but also close enough for the short 2min walk into it. Bed was also quite comfy!”
- Ron
United States“Our room was fine, but the bed was uncomfortable. We had a very good dinner in their restaurant and we liked the convenience. Breakfast was good but maybe a little pricey at 15 euro.” - Maite Ireland“The bedroom and en suite bathroom were spotless. Dinner and breakfast were excellent.”
- Kevin Ireland“Margaret and Alan were the perfect hosts! Thank you.”
