    sitting area
    poor privacy
    uncomfortable shower

    nice sitting area, clean room, free parking

    The conservatory-style room lacked privacy, making it feel uncomfortable!!! Unregulated shower temperature and automatic outdoor lights are frustrating details that definitely need addressing!!! Consider improving the bathroom's wetness situation by installing a curtain!!!

    Consider requesting a shower cap to avoid wet hair. the shower operates on a push button without temperature control.

    delicious breakfast
    pleasant communal area
    high shower pressure
    messy bathroom
    unclear check-in

    The bathroom was an interesting experience as it had a wet room shower that worked well despite the possible mess it could create. What I appreciated the most was the fantastic breakfast the next morning. it was surely a highlight of my stay. I spent time in the communal area, which was cozy and perfect for a bit of relaxation after exploring the local attractions. The location made it easy to access nearby sites like Saint Muredach's Cathedral and the Jackie Clarke Collection, enhancing my stay significantly.

    busy road

    Immaculately presented rooms with attentive service

    I had a great experience during my stay, especially being shown to two immaculately presented rooms that had everything I needed. The attention from the owner and staff was outstanding throughout the evening, and I thoroughly enjoyed the excellent BBQ ribs for dinner. The breakfast exceeded expectations with a delightful array of options. My only concern was the traffic noise from the nearby busy road waking me up around 7am.

    exceptional food
    outstanding service
    plentiful breakfast
    button shower
    limited hanging space

    The food here is nothing short of exceptional, with every bite bursting with flavor. Gillian, in particular, made our experience memorable by going above and beyond, ensuring we felt welcome and comfortable throughout our visit. The evening meal was delightful, and breakfast options were plentiful and delicious.

    The shower required constant pressing of the button.

    I truly appreciated the communal lounge area, which was elegantly decorated and provided a cozy spot to relax. The accessibility of facilities was remarkable, making it comfortable for seniors to navigate around.

    More hanging space for clothes would be beneficial.
