Heerlijk!
Pros:

Het uitzicht en het vriendelijke personeel.

Cons:

Ramen waar qua geluid slecht geisoleerd waardoor wij last hadden van een feest in de bar naast het hotel. Dit ging door tot 4 uur in de ochtend dus hadden niet zo goed geslapen daardoor.

Fine for what we wanted.
Pros:

This is our 3rd time to stay here. It was not as good as our last stay. Rooms were clean

Cons:

Dining room was not open while we were there and no buffet style breakfast. It was in the bar and items on the menu were all priced separately.

Absolutely loved our trip to Inishbofin. The Loop walks were most enjoyable. The hotel staff were very friendly and help
Pros:

The room was very spacious and comfortable with a sea view

Cons:

The food was very mediocre. No fresh fish, just battered haddock; for an island property disappointing. I thought breakfast should have been included for the price

Fantastic stay. Can't wait to go back.
Pros:

Great location - just beside the pier. Staff were extremely helpful - couldnt do more for you. We were only on a short visit and had lunch in the hotel and it was very nice and great value for money. We had a sea view. The views, location, outside seating - everything was fantastic. A great location for exploring both sides of the island.

Basic hotel but super location
Pros:

Location was fabulous but the hotel itself is very basic.
In my opinion it was way too expensive for what it was. Bed very small and uncomfortable.
We paid almost €250 per night and that did not even include breakfast.
The staff were lovely and the location is lovely.

Cons:

Overpriced
Uncomfortable bed
