Looking forward to staying again!
Pros:

Loved it as soon as I walked in the door. Was greeted by Paddy and made to feel at home. Only stayed for 3 nights but felt like 3 weeks. He's a good man and I'm really pleased to have met him so fortuitously though a booking of a property I hadn't stayed in before. I was participating in the Limerick Marathon on the Sunday and the comfort and pleasantness of the trip and stay at Kingfisher really helped and relaxed me.

Cons:

Nothing - TV didn't work properly but didn't need it.

Experiencia irlandesa indiscutible
Pros:

Sin duda lo mejor del alojamiento es el trato del anfitrión, con su buen humor y sonrisa, nos hizo sentir como en casa. Además el pub totalmente irlandés, si buscas adentrarte en la cultura irlandesa es el mejor lugar posible. Las habitaciones además muy limpias y cómodas.

Pros:

Comfortable accommodations with a very charming host, Paddy, in a walkable and scenic town. Good food options nearby. The pub offered good seating and drink options for food we brought in.

Cons:

Not necessarily a dislike but for transparency for other guests, the lodging is clean but large hodge podge collection of memorabilia. Can appeared cluttered but is a charming extension of the place

Cheap
Pros:

Very friendly owner. Bed was pretty comfortable. Was decent value.

Cons:

I probably would not stay here again. As per the description provided, this place is old. However, we did not feel that it was old in a charming way - more of a neglected way. It is like going to stay in your granny's house from 30 years ago. There was no lock on the shared bathroom. Room was not ready at the scheduled check-in time. While the host is very charming and we did not visit the pub (which a lot of people enjoy), I would probably choose to stay somewhere else.

Paddy is an incredible host.
Pros:

Paddy. He made our stay what it was. If it wasn’t for him, it wouldn’t have been nearly as nice. It truly felt like we were in Ireland.

Plongée dans l'ambiance irlandaise
Pros:

Nous avons été accueillis avec soin par Paddy, figure local et gérant du Pub.
La chambre familiale est confortable avec la salle de bain commune juste à côté.
Paddy nous a conseillé de commander des pizzas à côté pour pouvoir les manger dans le pub. Solution parfaite pour s'imprégner des lieux aux côtés des habitués.
On a passé une excellente soirée et une très bonne nuit dans des lits confortables.

Cons:

Nous avons tout apprécié mais à éviter pour les maniaques du rangement et du confort moderne.
