Lovely spot in the centre of Clonakilty

Lovely hotel in the centre of Clonakilty, great location and was perfect for what we needed. Very comfy bed and we were actually upgraded to a much bigger room!

Pros:

Huone oli iso ja kauniisti sisustettu. Vuode oli mukava. Henkilökunta oli ystävällistä. Aamupala oli maukas. Hotelli sijaitsi aivan kaupungin keskustassa, mutta löysin hyvin parkkipaikan kadun varrelta noin 200 m päästä hotellilta.
