Beautiful breakfast, friendly host. Relaxing homely atmosphere in a stunning property.

Imperialharlequin Ireland

Stayed 3 nights late October. Exellent B&B. Our room was very good , bed had great mattress, it was not soft and used like some hotels which couse backache. In room we had coffee maker, toilet and bath. One story steps were fine. Breakfast was great . Hommade jams, yogurt, butter , cheese fruit juice , cornflakes ( cereals) .... good coffee. 10 from 10 breakfast for us. Christine, the owner was welcoming and warm, so helpful. She waited for us until midnight as we arrived late. Also gave us many good hints. B& B had just 3 rooms, so it was not crowded and we enjoyed talking with other guests in breakfast time. Some kind of place I recommended and surely come back to see Christine , and Ganesh.

The owner was extremely helpful and provided the most superb breakfast each day (in a pretty courtyard) as well as very good suggestions for places to visit including restaurants. The house was beautiful.

Christine was the most attentive host, we had cycled approx 70 miles and we were greeted with a pot of tea and home made apple tart, Christine advised us on where to eat in the evening and her breakfast was delicious, she offered a variety of nuts an seeds to accompany the muesli alongside the rest of the breakfast, freshly squeezed orange juice and fresh coffee, delicious fresh bread and croissants. The house was charming, friendly without being intrusive, we look forward to returning. Thank you so much Nick and Catherine

The modest exterior, gives no hint or suggestion of what lay beyond the front door --- , a home filled with quality, grace and charm; the fixtures, furniture and fine art pieces all reflect thoughtful consideration and choices. likewise the breakfast, healthful and hearty, served in the cosy courtyard. Delightful !!!

Tim United Kingdom

Christine and her husband (and beautiful dog) were incredible. They were so very kind, warm and welcoming, and helped us with everything from restaurant bookings to bicycle hire/day trips. Go there!!! You will love it!

Tracey Netherlands

We absolutely loved our stay. It has the charm and aesthetics of a boutique hotel but the warmth of a home style stay. Lovely and caring hosts, beautiful and convenient location, nice breakfast every morning in the pretty garden to set you up for a great day on the island.
