Myself and my partner couldnt fault this place. Excellent weekend. Very clean, fabulous breakfast and Norma was absolutely fantastic especially with lovely little touches offering home made scones to take out with you and we finished our stay with a bag of scones and home made soda bread to bring home. She even drove us into the town and inchodony beach. Nothing was too much trouble. Would recommend this place 100000%

Not necessarily a problem, but it was more remote than we expected: you have to use the car for everything.
Norma was adorable and caring with us, and gave us a lot of very good advice to visit the region. Our room was huge, clean and confortable. The breakfast was very good.

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.

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.

That we couldn't stay longer
If you're looking for an accommodation in the area then don't look further! Everything was amazing: the location of the property, the room view, the room with a very confortable queen size bed and last but not the least the hospitality of Norma that exceeded our expectations. We had the greatest breakfast of our trip in Ireland: a great variety of options and home made scones that we were offered to take with us.

Nothing- the slow draining sink in the bedroom. A small quibble.
The room was lovely with a wonderful view of the countryside. Norma is an excellent host as is her assistant. The breakfasts were probably the best we have had. Norma is an excellent baker. We were greeted with tea, coffee and little cakes. At breakfast she insisted that everyone take her delicious homemade scones with them. The breakfast menu included smoked salmon with scrambled eggs and delicious pancakes with fruit - and what an array of fruit. All served with natural charm and friendliness, so much so that guests from different countries were soon talking animatedly together.
