Perfect place when we travel from Dublin airport

A perfect place for us just an hour from Dublin airport. Now we can stay here instead of an airport hotel for most of our travels back and forth from Dingle. Much nicer room and bath, lovely restaurant, prettier location and less expensive. We are thrilled to have found this hotel.

It was a brief stay. Staff seemed very nice and professional. The carpet in the hallway to the rooms on the ground floor was quite worn and could do with being updated.
