Just what you need at a great price

Great stay for a great price. It's a simple, functional, yet somehow still very homey and welcoming accommodation. It's not a full service resort or hotel, but it's the best value for money in Ireland. Would recommend, would come back.

This house is cared for with so much love and compassion. Every detail is just lovely and they keep everything clean. The stainless steel kitchen is wonderful to cook in and accessible to every guest. Rooms and beds are comfortable! The manager is just darling:) She decorates the whole house beautifully with fresh flowers and is there for you, if you have any questions or requests.

Modern beautiful Guesthouse. Pristine. A beautiful relaxing place. Opulent but unfortunately there is no breakfast provided. A very big disappointment. But for the price, i stayed a week i couldn't recommend the monkey puzzle Guesthouse highly enough. Self catering. A good car parking space. EXCELLENT.

Lovely set up in a lovely part of Ireland

We enjoyed night one ao booked an additional night. Loved the kitchen, dining room and sitting room ( despite two guests going into it and locking everyone else out? Not sure if they did it on purpose or not) Room has ample space Everything's new and great. Maybeca problem if full up getting enough bathroom time as appears to be only 3 showers for 29 rooms? Maybe some ate ensuite? Walking distance to shops ans supermarket opposite. Plenty of good parking. Helpful staff

Sehr sauber und organisiert. Zugangscode und weitere Infos kamen direkt kurz nach Check-In Zeit(15Uhr) Leider sehr laut, weil direkt an der Hauptstraße gelegen und schlecht bis gar nicht isoliert. Habe 75 Euro bezahlt, was für ein Hostel viel zu teuer ist. War aber notgedrungen das beste was ich finden konnte.
