super nice hosts, Connor was very kind and shared a lot about the Burren, and Ferris in the kitchen, with a selection of warm breakfast each day you can chose from if you want to stay several days i had a double room with chairs and tons of space, very spacious, comfortable, clean with beautiful views of one of the Burren hills a car or bikes would be needed to get around as roads are narrow and dangerous to walk, lots to do around, perfect location to explore the area, plenty to do from there with a car, but not a bustling town situation I went to sheep dog demonstration under stormy conditions and had a wonderful time

The property is nestled in a rural area close to Ballyvaughan. Conner was so gracious and directed us to town with a few directions for dinner! We slept so well and were presented with a 5 star breakfast served by the lovely Margaret. Everything is 5 star! We loved our stay and would recommend this place to anyone.cheersMucheke and Stwve

Very cozy atmosphere, amazing views of the countryside. The room was perfect for 4 adults (my husband and I & our two adult children). The room had a queen bed & two twin beds. The beds had a flat sheet and comforter! The breakfast was perfect. The guys enjoyed the pool table too. Short drive to the Cliffs of Moher and there’s a lovely restaurant close by called Monks. I would definitely stay here again.

We enjoyed our stay here, staff were very nice. We had a bonus hour's worth of traditional Irish music performed in the living room, it was really good. Breakfast was fantastic! My only negative about the property was that it was very dated, especially the bathroom, other than that, enjoyable place to stay.

The hosts were amazing. We were able to check in a little early. The gentleman knows so much about the area and directed us to some things not on our list. The room is huge and only place we’ve stayed that had a bathtub. Our window had a castle outside of it with beautiful green pastures around.The little town had a great pub and pier. One of our favorite places we stayed on this trip
