Un’esperienza tipica ma da migliorare la pulizia.
Pros:

Le camere si trovano in un pub tipico e tradizionale che non mi era ancora mai capitato di trovare. Tutto in legno con collezioni di insegne pubblicitarie e equipaggiamento da pesca e bancone e mobilio in legno scuro. Nel piano di sopra si fa una vera esperienza di casa irlandese : moquette, foto di famiglia, animali impagliati e mobilio d’epoca. Il proprietario è un simpatico signore , divertente e accogliente.

Cons:

La pulizia da migliorare molto

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.
