Fabulous ambiance . Truly old world and a total escape from pressures of modern living. A very clean and comfortable bedroom including the mattress. It was beside Lough Swilly in a beautiful wooded setting.

Cons:

Everything was nice but the food could be elevated with a little thought. Overall great value for money
