This is a beautiful B&B a short walk to the lovely town of Ballinrobe with its great restaurants and pubs. Our room was so comfortable looking out onto the beautiful garden and leafy trees. It was so quiet and peaceful. Breakfast was amazing with a great selection of continental and beautiful cooked foods, including home made bread. Breege was a really lovely host and recommended we drive the Ring which we did, and really enjoyed. Thanks Breege!

  • HI there, I notice it says 'pets allowed'. We have a small dog. Do you have a room which would be suitable for us? She is fully house trained, but it would be preferable to have a room on ground level so we can let her out when we need. Alos, is the kitchen is available for self catering? Thanks
    Hi, yes we do accommodate pets, I have only single room on ground floor, but I do not do self catering, only B/B, Regards Breege
