Pros & cons

Overall everything was acceptable except for the so called restaurant Choice of menu was limited & the prices were much too high: small chicken pie, lettuce leaves & 3 slices of tomato 22 euro: 4 small pieces of wheaten bread,3.50 euro & worst of all a cup of hot water 3.50 euro! Breakfast was good & the staff were lovely The decor was rather dated but probably in keeping with the age of the property

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Feels like this used to be a very nice establishment but it has somehow had the stuffing knocked out of it. Felt a bit sad there, really. Property probably very nice in years gone by but badly faded. Decor old style, with no updating. Everything very tired. Check in quite odd - sort of a hello, shown to room, that was about it. Cleanliness underwhelming. Staff undertrained or just not that good. Atmosphere - none really, including in bar. Breakfast very good although service completely haphazard and amusing in a sad sort of way. Shower good and powerful (room 1)

Absolutely wonderful stay off the beaten path and in a beautiful setting - wish we could have stayed more than one evening. It's an excellent area from which to explore the cliffs, Malin Beg, etc. We particularly enjoyed spending time in the evening with John, our host, and other guests in the bar.

This charming B&B was an overnight stay but I wished I could have stayed longer. Everyone was extremely nice and it was very quiet tucked back in the trees.
