"Great stay, nice room, easy free parking nearby. This stop after a day touring around the Dingle Peninsula was well situated. We had a family room (four beds) and it came with games and tons of extra towels. The town is small but has gluten free dining options, which is a real plus."

"The staff were very friendly and extremely helpful. The facilities were clean and user friendly. The food was very good with a large choice. The only drawback was the car park was about a 250 mtrs walk away, although you were able to temporarily park outside the entrance (if the space was available) to unload/load your cases."
