    Great location . Friendly owner. Heated blanket made up for the slightly chilly room as the heating is controlled centrally . Clean and comfy bedding . Family room with 3 beds so compact but more than enough space for a short stay for us. The breakfast and home made scones were exceptional. The best I’ve had in a long time . Great value for money

    Shower was so slow you couldn’t really shower Noisy clunking of wooden doors much of the evening and morning from the other guests.

    Best breakfast in Ireland, beautiful lake at the foot of the garden

    Unfortunately the room wasn't very clean. There was hair on the bathroom floor, dust on the windowsill. The toilet was leaking water and didn't flush very well. The sink was also leaking water. The shower was a big dissappointment. Only half of the holes in the showerhead worked and the beam was quite weak. The windows didn't close properly so the room was a bit cold at night. But there was also a heater available in the room. There was dog poop in the garden so you have to be careful where you walk.

    Breda was very lovely during our stay. She gave us tips for locations to visit. We told her beforehand that my husband and I are vegan. She bought soy milk and oat milk for us. Her oatmeal was great. She had maple syrup, weetabix, bread, fruits... Enough for us vegans to enjoy. Bed was soft and with fresh bedding. You could have new towels every day. Beautiful view in the garden!

    A wee observation.. Door saddle at room entrance may need attention to facilitate a safer entry

    I especially liked and appreciated the friendliness and hospitality of owner and family. An unexpected pleasure was the rear of the property, a lavish garden with lush Lee views in serene and natural surroundings.

    The facilities could do with modernising, particularly the bathroom. We stayed in June, and the weather was cold. There was inadequate heating in the room, although we were provided with electric blankets, which at least made the beds warm.

    Breda was a very good host. The breakfast was excellent.

    I had a reaction to the laundry soap/softener. It made me cough due to the strong smell.

    We had a wet room for our bathroom the only thing I can say is negative on on our stay at this B&B. Maybe a personal thing but we are definitely not a fans.

    Breakfast was super, our hosts Breda & partner were so friendly and helpful and such a great location not too far out of town. They even suggested a lovely place to eat in town, second to none friendly service and again excellent food, I had the chicken supreme a meal I will remember for quite a while it was sooo good.
