This place is a gem! Feels like an authentic Irish stay, and a place you’d see in the movies. The island is gorgeous and people are friendly. Beds are a little on the firmer side and doors are a little loud but the history and beauty make up for it. Food is great, staff is kind, rooms are a great size.
