Loved our stay at this family run hotel. Host, Liz, was friendly and informative and gave great tips for our drive to Cliffs of Moher. Breakfast was really yummy and welcome because there isn’t any other cafes or places nearby to grab breakfast. Bed was comfy and bathroom shower had great water pressure. Would stay here again.

We loved this place. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, the food was spectacular and the bed comfortable. The location is right on the road, so there is some road noise, but not enough to disturb my sleep. We would certainly stay here again!
