to get started.

Staff, decorating , everything was great. Best accommodations I have ever had in my 6 trips.

William, United States of America

The hosts were very friendly. Nice breakfast and their restaurant has delicious food. Service was a bit slow but worth the wait.

Maile, United States of America

Large comfortable rooms. Nice salon area where we could visit with our friends. Excellent breakfast and restaurant

Dayre, United States of America

Room very nice with plenty of space. The food served was outstanding .

Andrew, United Kingdom

A very comfortable, atmospheric place to stay. Lovely food and wonderful owners and staff.

Laura, Ireland

Customer service was excellent. Food was delicious. The fire in the residents lounge never went out.

Cathal, Ireland

Aherne's is a class act: it knows its business and does it outstandingly well, with apparent graceful ease, in a hospitality world where the new and hip often attracts more attention than the solidly traditional done expertly. The bustling bar, restaurant, large handsome bedrooms - and residents' lounge with a real fire - are quite old fashioned, though furnished with a scattering of lovely antiques - but sparklingly maintained and wonderfully comfortable. Although there are choices for vegetarians and carnivores, fish is the star of the lunch and dinner menus. Breakfast, with fresh orange juice, local apple juice, fruit such as poached pears, home made brown bread and preserves, and cooked choices including fish, is magnificent

Maev, United Kingdom

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.

Gerard, Luxembourg

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

Thomas, United Kingdom

Great comfy room with lovely little decorative flourishes. Delightful sitting room. Incredible seafood.

“A class act in a cherishable small historic Irish town”
- • Family with young children

I cant think of a single thing that Aherne's could do better. First time visitors may be disappointed by the site which lies between the end of the main street which took a battering in the recession from which it is only now recovering, and a back street, with only glimpses of the sea from first floor windows, but three generations of family have turned it into an oasis of comfort and good food, equally beloved by locals and tourists

“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.
