I doubt there’s a better view from a Bnb in Ireland. The breakfast was fresh and delicious. The Staff couldn’t have been more helpful.

It’s a great stay and I can only recommend it!!
Pros:

The location is fantastic, with great views and on the “100” round trip.

The beds were very comfy and the room was very huge!!

Cons:

At the time of booking, I had asked for gluten-free toast for breakfast which I got on day one. However, they had no gluten-free toast left on day two.

In fairness, they did provide more regular (wheat) toast but that was of no use to me.

Little gem with great location, food and local touch
Pros:

Came with little expectations but our stay was great from beginning till end - helpful staff clean spacious rooms with great sea views, really great dinner with seafood and fish; kids played billiard after dinner etc… tavern has also local touch with shop pub and post office next door - all locals were very welcoming and the owner came to greet and also to tell few stories in the morning - would come back any time

Cons:

Nothing really all good
