First off, the staff was very friendly and helpful. Really made us feel welcome in the space. The breakfast was great and we had lots of options on the menu to choose from. The room itself was small but the beds were comfortable and the natural light was nice. The bathroom was a bit of a problem — The shower was very small and there was a restriction on how long a shower we could take because it was solar-powered hot water. The water never really got hot, just warm, unfortunately. As well, the toilet in the room flushed strangely and we struggled to figure out how to get it to work at all. That was a challenge. The free WiFi did not work the entire first evening/night we arrived on any of our devices (including other guests we spoke to over breakfast) and was consistently spotty and dropping in and out the whole time we were there. Very slow when connected and often fell off. Not a good place if you won't have data or need WiFi for work. The b&b is a bit far away from the city which made walkability a bit of a challenge if you're not interested in a 30 minute walk just to get there. Would consider driving from accommodation or picking a more centralized hotel next time.

My friend and I had a nice stay, we did feel the room was a little bit cold, we reported this and we were given a blow heater so that we could use it as and when needed. This was a very satisfactory solution

The property is very tired problems with hot water availability and heat in the rooms. Compared to many other b&b in Ireland the breakfast were very basic with no fruit , yogurt or cereals. Numerous notes of what you should not do were posted and did not create a welcoming atmosphere. Pictures are deceiving as is the “join us for a drink in our lounge”. Good location basic accommodation.

The room was very smal,the listed ensuite bed seemed very small,very old and had large wooden corners on the two bottom ends which being a small room you had difficulty not hurting yourselves on.The ensuite was extremely old and needs a complete new suite.Thought the price of one nights stay is far too expensive for what is on offer.Would not return.
