While a few things could use a little updating, everything was very clean and the owners were absolutely fantastic. We checked in late send out early, so we didn’t have time to enjoy the extensive property. It was a quiet, family friendly location, and breakfast was absolutely amazing. Some of the best food we had while in Ireland.
