My favorite accommodation during our trip to Ireland. Mike was the perfect host, exuding hospitality, humor, history and local knowledge. Loved sitting by the cozy peat fireplace at night. Full kitchen and laundry facilities. Sauna is a nice bonus, but didn’t get a chance to use it.

This was a mid trip stop and was family time the property was better than home from home. My son works in Ireland and it was lovely to relax together. We were warmly welcomed and introduced to the property and we knew we had any assistance required should we need it. However we had complete privacy and felt very comfortable here. We did much needed washing and had all and more we could have wanted. It was great having two TV screens as we could watch together but in different areas good if you are liable to fall asleep while watching TV. The welcome hamper was a lovely idea and meant even if we hadnt had time to shop we had something for a snack and breakfast. We'll be back to visit as there's lots to do in the area we visited Cliffs of Moher (la hinch beach is near there but we didnt make it) Galways a short ride away and we headed up to Kylemore Abbey and Connemara national park. I later found out about the Claregalway castle and wish we'd had time to visit.

    Great location close to the main street. Asked to park our car early (hours before check-in time) Staff very helpful and also gave us an early check in. Rooms a bit small but functional -it’s a small family run independent hotel and served a good breakfast.

    The rooms were very nice and comfortable. The swim facilities were fun for the kids. The dinner was delicious and the breakfast was good! Very convenient location not right in the center of the city but close enough and much easier for us since we were traveling to Connemara National Park from there.

    Brilliant family hotel. The staff were amazing and the location was a short taxi or bus journey into the town centre. The kids loved the pool and the food. The hotel was spotless and there was a kids club available.

    Breakfast was very good, bathroom didn't have face cloth or shower cap which would have been nice, waitress excellent, bar staff not so good. Pool lovely and staff very friendly, perfect for business guests but would be great if it was more child friendly if you are trying to get more family business. The Room was excellent, clean and bright. To enhance view outside the window you could do a roof Garden.
