"Wow !! I have rented many VBRO properties for many years and none have matched the view of this one. The entire experience deserves a 12 out of 10. Brian the property manager exceeded all expectations in every regard. The communications before and during our stay was Exceptional along with the check-in and checkout. There are many wonderful places to stay in Ireland but this property was magical. The nearby Pubs, the hikes, the scenery and location are perfect. Our hope is to return for a full month. We were very blessed to find this vacation home."

"I had the pleasure to stay at this quaint little B & B last night and I would definitely visit again! The hosts were extremely helpful and the room that I had was perfect for me but also would have been great if my husband was traveling with me too. The location was absolutely perfect for an easy walk to dinner followed by an ice cream and a walk along the water front before dinner. The property is 170 years old and it was fabulous!"
