    The room could have a blind to make the room a bit darker. Found myself waking up as the sun rose.

    Very good location. Very nice breakfast with a large options. Hosts very friendly.

    The only thing we were missing were some window blinds as the sun came up and woke us a bit (too) early.

    A perfect host, great location and superb breakfast.

    Wonderful warm welcoming hosts. Jovanka and Alec made our stay very easy and enjoyable. Jovanka's hearty breakfast and fresh coffee were exactly what was needed to cope with the summer rain! We will return.

    Can highly recommend The Black Sheep. From the moment we arrived we were treated like old friends. Alec and Jovanka were so welcoming. Location is perfect, just a short and pleasant walk to the village. Fantastic breakfast on the deck. We'll be back. Definitely 10/10.

    The world needs places like this. Alec would give you the shirt off his back and if he did it'd be a stylish one. The Black Sheep oozes character, homeliness, charm and calm in a most idylic setting. This place did it its own way and made a great stab at it. Stay, it'll live long in your memory.

    Amazing location, very friendly hosts with lots of great tips for places to go visit! We stayed there for 6 days, and did day trips in different directions every day. Very well located in the middle of the most beautiful parts of Ireland, loved it! Bed was super comfortable, and room was clean and provided enough space. Also amazing view from the Veranda while having breakfast, we could even see deers from there while having our delicious breakfast! Hosted with lots of love, we could feel that

    Wonderful hosts, just down the hill from town, beautiful walks in the evening, great value, comfy bed, beautiful surroundings. Alec and Ivanka could not have been more accommodating. Excellent breakfast with local honey.

    Jovanka and Alec are great host, we felt like we were at home. Even preparing gluten-free breakfast for us was no problem. The house is on the riverbank, and in the mornings from the kitchen you could enjoy the view of the deers grazing on the bank.

    I really annoyed my stay at the black sheep b&b. The hosts are wonderful and they really did their best to make sure I enjoyed my stay. The facilities are very clean and the bed was very comfortable. I felt very safe and they gave me some great recommendations for what to do around the town. The black sheep is only about a 5minute walk from the downtown so you have great access to the pubs and restaurants but you are also very close to the nature reserve which offers beautiful hikes. I would definitely recommend staying here!
