"Great location, easy to do the Ring of Kerry and Dingle peninsula, helpful and welcoming staff. Liked the filtered water tap available on our floor to fill our room jug. We ate dinner on our first night and was impressed with the quality and value, so we did the same for all our nights. Breakfast was good and varied."
