Amazing place well worth a little extra drive. Best breakfast on our whole trip!

Norma and Mary were wonderful! They were very welcoming and hospitable.

Genuine Irish hospitality, friendly and sincere. The kids loved petting the baby cows and the breakfast was amazing. Norma is a gem.

Norma was a great host, giving suggestions to satisfy our interests.

Beautiful freshly baked scones with breakfast abd very friendly staff! Thought the room and beds were fab... Such comfy beds.... Pictures didn't do it justice!

Wonderful nice B&B, located quiet but near the next main roads. What a host! Feeled warm and friendly, as we arrived, directly a hot coffee and fresh cake was offered. Wonderful! And the breakfast was amazing. Thank you very much!

The owner was very friendly and took an interest in making us feel welcome. We arrived and there was a friendly welcome with fresh tea and buns ready for us. Breakfast options were plentiful and delicious. Room was also comfortable and made for a good sleep.

We were greeted very warmly though it was late at night. We were offered a cup of tea to start with and the owner sat with us and asked us what we would like for breakfast which I think was very accommodating. Thank you again and will definitely drop by again whenever we have the chance.

Norma was great. The rooms and the home were fantastic. The breakfast was exceptional and Norma’s local knowledge was most helpful. Would return on next trip.

The owner welcomed us with a cup of tea and homemade muffins, which were more than appreciated after a long drive. The house is very cosy and the view from the room is spectacular: nature and peace is what you find when you stay here. The room had a private bathroom with all the facilities. The breakfast was excellent with homemade scones, fresh fruit, yogurt, cheese and cereal plus a selection of typical Irish breakfast.
