A very nice lady. Gave us a great welcome. The room was comfortable but the furniture was old and did not match. There was no wardrobe in the room so no where to hang up clothes. The lady was not there in the morning so we got a text message about how to heat the water. Breakfast was very basis and we had to help ourselves. We paid €80 which was very expensive for what we got. We would have got a very good B&B with a full Irish breakfast for the same money. The location was good, a short walk into town. Parking was good.

Easy to contact. Good room and welcome. Good, convenient parking (except for 15 minutes when mums and dads collect their children from football practice!).
