    Staff members were great. Convenient place when visiting Slievemore Island. Sadly, not on the water. Must drive to the beach or lake. The pizza is really good. Rooms are basic with minimal amenities, towels, and sheets. No outlets in the...

    I had pizza in the restaurant and it was lovely! Location was ideal! I would definitely stay here again, but i had the bedroom with no en suite, that was the only downside.
