not good. there was no hot water and no coffee. stayed here one night in a very small double room which was not worth the money. the hot water was not working and neither was the coffee machine. the breakfast was ok 6/10. staff ok if a little unhelpful, I would not stay here again.

Had an amazing stay and defo would recommend. The beds are super comfy, and the whole place is very warm and inviting….the steak, wow, probably in the top 2 I’ve ever had. Unfortunately it was only for the one night but I’ll defo be coming back.

Stayed here last night with friends. Received a very warm welcome! All staff members are extremely friendly and helpful. Twin room was small and dated but didn’t bother us as we just needed somewhere to throw the head after drinks. Rooms coule really do with black out blinds or curtains. We were late down for breakfast but the girl obliged us with possibly the nicest breakfast I've ever received in a hotel/b&b. Would definitely stay here again. nothing fancy but comfy clean beds, amazing hospitality and best breakfast ever. Great value for money also

Great location. Service by all staff was excellent. Had 9 rooms booked for my brother's stag party and booked a meal for 25 of us. We were given our own area out the back and the food was delicious. Breakfast was tasty and large portions for those of us that were feeling up to it.

Just awful. It smelled like cat urine. It was dirty everywhere. Said there was breakfast included at 7 am but the restaurant wasn’t open until just as we were driving away at 7:30. Not that I would have wanted to eat there after the co diction of the room and hallway. Most horrible stay I have ever had anywhere.

Rooms small and tight, no elevator (not unusual for Ireland). Breakfast was the best anywhere.
