"Almost perfect but because the hotel does not includes air conditioning we had to open the windows and the popularity of the pub makes the outside a bit noisy. Would also have been great to have an option for breakfast but we found a nice place nearby called sage and stone."

"Everything was great, though it was the most expensive place we stayed on our 8-day Ireland excursion. Given downtown Belfast and downtown Dublin were even less expensive, I'd have to say the price/value of this place is a bit off."

"Phenomenal stay. Sue and Dave could not have been more accommodating. The property is lovely and close enough to drive to everything. If you get a chance purchase a loaf of sour dough bread from their daughter’s bakery. Bed was very comfortable, water was very hot. Would definitely stay again. Lots of great things to see within a 15-30 minute drive. Thank you for everything!"

"We rented a house attached to the resort and it was fabulous. It slept 9 and the rooms all had bathrooms attached. Kitchen, laundry, living room and a small backyard for the toddler. We had full access to the hotel's facilities and used the pool a lot. It was great. No complaints . The staff couldn't have been nicer or more helpful. I would book this again and not hesitate "
