Connor & Margaret were fantastic! Both were warm & welcoming. Location was perfect to explore Galway, Cliffs of Mohr and surrounding areas (by car). The best part - their make to order full breakfast choices. Literally, you sit down and they are preparing while serving morning coffee/tea. Loved this place!

The interior of the place tidy and their breakfast was substantial and tasty — great porridge! They had recently painted and our initial room had a strong paint odor so we asked to move. The new room was nice and had tea and coffee, however the bathroom was lacking. There was no place to put our stuff, the toilet seat was broken and the shower was terrible — weak water pressure! The outside of the property could be tidied up.
