What a lovely find! A wonderful family owned hotel with 5-star service. So friendly, and welcoming they gave us great suggestions for our visit. I would stay here again. The breakfast was delicious and the price is very fair.

The owners, family and staff are wonderful! We were arriving late because we were driving up from Cork, but they waited for us to arrive and helped us with our luggage into the room as soon as we arrived. They were very understanding and were amazing hosts. Breakfast was delicious and we also ate dinner there one night, and it was amazing. Everyone there was so nice and talked to you and asked about our trip and what we had planned and helped point out some places we may want to go see. They were so helpful and the room was perfect for us. Not far from Doolin and the Cliffs of Moher in the town of Lisdoonvarna. Parking is free in a public lot just up the street. Would definitely stay again.

Lynn, John, and Anna made us feel so welcome and cared for. We were late the first night due to Airline delays. They stayed up and greeted us like lost family members. The breakfast was delicious and fresh. And the little bar was a nice place to wrap up the night. I will stay there again when in the area.

A bit dated decor, but the welcoming, friendly staff, breakfast and entertainment made up for this. The hotel seemed to be run by a family, the daughter of whom was a great asset to them. All the staff were very attentive. The breakfast staff continually checked is all was okay. The breakfast was plentiful. Best porridge I have ever had. The resident entertainment was very good. I could but fault this hotel and would stay there again.
