Dayre, United States of America

The food was excellent, the owners were nice and tried to accommodate! But no wifi except for the bar, the smell of fish was very strong everywhere downstairs, the rooms were large. It quite old!

Diane, Canada

What an enjoyable stay. The Fitzgibbons are wonderful hosts, so warm and gracious. And, we had no idea that the meals in the restaurant would be really exceptional. (Great breakfasts too.) Would highly recommend staying at Aherne's, you won't be disappointed.

Chuck, United States of America

Wonderful dinner in the restaurant. Excellent seafood perfectly cooked. The friendly professional lady who was serving in the restaurant. The pleasant lady who served breakfast.

It was excellent, I live in hotels across Europe and this is the best, not corporate but relaxed family run and the best for a very long time

A place full of character and the best breakfast I've ever eaten. If you are staying for B and B try to eat there in the evening too - delicious fish restaurant.

“Wonderful restaurant but accommodation disappointing.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Deluxe Double Room
- • Stayed 1 night
The en-suite bedroom was large and pleasantly furnished but not adequately heated in the sense that there was no heat from the radiator early in the morning (it must have been turned off centrally). The well-appointed large bathroom had no heating of its own. Consequently I did not have my usual morning shower in case I caught a chill on this cold late-October morning. This was not what I was expecting for a EUR 160 B&B charge for single occupancy. The other staff (family members?) were professional but rather abrupt.
Wonderful dinner in the restaurant. Excellent seafood perfectly cooked. The friendly professional lady who was serving in the restaurant. The pleasant lady who served breakfast.
