Our family had a comfortable stay for 1 night. Enjoyed the breakfast as well in the morning. The gentleman at the reception was super nice and helped us with dinner recommendations as well. Only item that could be better is the WiFi, which was very spotty and extremely slow!

We arrived later than we wanted due to our rental car blowing a tire. They were very accommodating and kind about the delay. The room was beautifully furnished. The whole establishment is very homey. The breakfast was excellent. We didn't spend much time there but only because we stayed there to visit the Cliffs of Moher. If we ever return to the area we'd gladly stay there again.
