Rooms were excellent and super clean. But We were suppose to have breakfast in the morning. But conveniently he doesn't start serving until 8:30. He knows people want to catch ferry early. He should at least put something out. Fruit, yogurt pastries coffees. I little something would have been nice.

This place is really nice. It looks quite small from the front until you realize that the entire upper level is the hotel. The town itself is quite small, but the Spar round the corner is very nice for picking up items needed. The restaurants close pretty early, but that’s fairly normal in Ireland. I cannot speak anymore highly of the staff because they were all too-notch! Would def recommend!

It was ok. I would mostly compare it to a comfort inn. The room was clean and the bathroom sufficient. There were 2 single beds for our children and a double for my husband and myself. Each bed only had one pillow per person. The breakfast was typical Continental bar. The lady serving coffee was very nice. I did think the area was a little sketchy
