Nothing is too much trouble. My room was very clean and comfortable. Good choice of food on the menu. They were happy to cook a lovely meal for myself and family. I would stay there again. You do need a car as there are no pavements and it is situated on a busy main road, that was the only downside. ##### Laura Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### River 18 Aug 2024 Liked: Staff & service The staff was very kind and accommodating. The premises was quiet and smelled very nice. My sink did have a leak, the tile of the bathtub was falling off, and my trash cans already had trash in them. But honestly, I’d just stayed in a hostel and was thrilled to have a room to myself. ##### River Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### clyde 25 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### clyde Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Taleah 22 May 2024 ##### Taleah Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Billy 12 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We had a great time.

I had a beautiful room with a 4 poster bed and the owners, Ishi and Raj, were so friendly and accommodating. They knew I didn't have a car so they made arrangements with the most wonderful local woman to show me the sites and she turned out to be full of information and better than the best tour guide I could have ever found. There is a bar/restaurant right on site for meals and a short drive down the road will get you to the ferry to Claire or the quaint little town of Glin. The People of Glin were so warm and welcoming I felt like I knew them forever. I would do this trip again and not change 1 thing. It was just perfect! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### peter 12 Aug 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Pleasant stay Very pleasant stay. ##### peter Stayed 1 night in Aug 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Collette 15 Jul 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort Excellent froendly staff.

Our room was large with a huge bed which was very comfortable. We enjoyed our stay here. ##### Pamela Stayed 1 night in Oct 2018 ### 4/10 Poor #### Jerry, Penna 24 Aug 2018 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort This hotel is in a state of disrepair. The grounds need a lot of work, the items such as plumbing are are outdated. We contracted for a double bed but were given a room with 4 singles. This made the room crowded and cluttered. Tv reception was not good. The Inn keeper was not a native so could not give us advice on what to see in the community. A lot of stuff in the halls and the grounds. ##### Jerry Stayed 1 night in Aug 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Kathy, Australia 1 Jul 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Lovely hotel a short drive to ferry and small town Welcome experience with a beautiful room.

Only recently reopened after being closed for some time. New owners don't seem to have the means to run it properly ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in May 2018 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Niamh, Ireland 7 May 2018 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Worst customer service Iv ever experienced After paying for the hotel and having the booking confirmation the hotel owner said they were overbooked and I could not stay. I showed her my booking confirmation and said that the money was taken out of my account. I left annoyed as I had travelled a long way without anywhere to stay. She than rang me again repeating herself saying we could not stay there. She did not offer us accommodation anywhere else after us traveling. She was extremely rude and aggressive on the phone and when I said I would be writing a review on this experience she told me I could write 100 reviews that she didn’t care and it wouldn’t get me a room for the night so there would be no point. In the end she just hung up the phone on me, not a nice way to treat your paying customers. Also to add when I went to reception in the first place to check in I was waiting 10 minutes before someone even came to greet me it seems very disorganized I wouldn’t not recommend. ##### Niamh Stayed 1 night in May 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 1 Apr 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### The owners have just taken over the place The host could not do enough for us everything we ask for was with us in minutes place was warm and cosy ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Mar 2018 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [CABU By The Lakes](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cavan-Hotels-CABU-By-The-Lakes.h48850549.Hotel-Information) > > [Clayton Hotel Liffey Valley](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dublin-Hotels-Clayton-Hotel-Liffey-Valley.h1166873.Hotel-Information) > > [The Central Hotel Donegal](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Donegal-Hotels-The-Central-Hotel-Donegal.h15716211.Hotel-Information) > > [Portmarnock Resort & Jameson Golf Links](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dublin-Hotels-Portmarnock-Resort-Jameson-Golf-Links.h445188.Hotel-Information) > > [Powerscourt Hotel, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Enniskerry-Hotels-Powerscourt-Hotel.h1680006.Hotel-Information) > > [Clayton Hotel & Leisure Club Sligo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sligo-Hotels-Clayton-Hotel-Leisure-Club-Sligo.h1194108.Hotel-Information) > > [Hillgrove Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monaghan-Hotels-Hillgrove-Hotel.h521923.Hotel-Information) > > [Clayton Hotel Dublin Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dublin-Hotels-Clayton-Hotel-Dublin-Airport.h2226273.Hotel-Information) > > [Kenmare Bay Hotel & Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kenmare-Hotels-Kenmare-Bay-Hotel-Resort.h33762809.Hotel-Information) > > [River Island Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Castleisland-Hotels-River-Island-Hotel.h4238844.Hotel-Information) > > [Killarney Court Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Killarney-Hotels-Killarney-Court-Hotel.h33761959.Hotel-Information) > > [Kee's Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stranorlar-Hotels-Kees-Hotel-Wellness-Centre.h4902351.Hotel-Information) > > [Killashee Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Naas-Hotels-Killashee-Hotel.h908930.Hotel-Information) > > [Great Northern Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bundoran-Hotels-Great-Northern-Hotel.h1788827.Hotel-Information) > > [Ard na Sidhe Country House Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Maum-Hotels-Ard-Na-Sidhe-Country-House-Hotel.h522204.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ashe Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tralee-Hotels-The-Ashe-Hotel.h12803356.Hotel-Information) > > [Farnham Estate Spa & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cavan-Hotels-Farnham-Estate-Spa-Golf-Resort.h1499097.Hotel-Information) > > [Allingham Arms Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bundoran-Hotels-Allingham-Arms-Hotel.h37893738.Hotel-Information) > > [Parknasilla Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sneem-Hotels-Parknasilla-Resort-And-Spa.h15911.Hotel-Information) > > [The Rose Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tralee-Hotels-The-Rose-Hotel.h1682727.Hotel-Information) > > [Mount Errigal Hotel Conference & Leisure Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Letterkenny-Hotels-Mount-Errigal-Hotel-Conference-Leisure-Centre.h1561953.Hotel-Information) > > [The Manor West Hotel & Leisure Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tralee-Hotels-The-Manor-West-Hotel-Leisure-Club.h4593837.Hotel-Information) > > [Arnolds Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dunfanaghy-Hotels-Arnolds-Hotel.h527334.Hotel-Information) > > [O'Connors Guesthouse](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cloghane-Hotels-OConnors-Guesthouse.h45432186.Hotel-Information) > > [Maldron Hotel Dublin Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dublin-Hotels-Maldron-Hotel-Dublin-Airport.h1331635.Hotel-Information) > > [Redcastle Hotel, Golf & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Moville-Hotels-Redcastle-Hotel.h1538640.Hotel-Information) > > [Bloomfield House Hotel, Leisure Club & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mullingar-Hotels-Bloomfield-House-Hotel.h1057525.Hotel-Information) > > [Slieve Russell Hotel Golf & Country Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ardue-Hotels-Slieve-Russell-Hotel-Golf-Country-Club.h4952282.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Hotel, Dublin Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dublin-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Hotel.h77932.Hotel-Information) > > [Castlerosse Park Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Killarney-Hotels-Castlerosse-Park-Resort.h1216394.Hotel-Information)
