Blast from the past!
Pros:

Staying in this hotel is like stepping back in time, in the best possible way. In a world of soulless Ibis clones it’s so lovely to know there are still family-run hotels dedicated to providing travellers with a human touch. I could have easily stayed there a week. Fabulous location in a beautiful part of Ireland and everything was very comfortable.

Cons:

Nothing, it was very nice.

Never again!
Pros:

Nothing expected the friendly girl at the reception!

Cons:

The Hotel is no go!
The room I booked was supposed to have a size of 28 sqm, but actually the room was not larger than 14sqm! The Hotel manager told us that the roomsize on booking.com is just a rough estimation and that he has never measured it! What a joke!
The rooms all have the same size he told us.
So long story short, don’t go there it’s not worth it!

Amazingly hospitable host!
Pros:

The owner and his staff were super helpful to us as we navigated one of the participants illness. They accommodated food requirement, showed us where to get the laundry done and kept our humor up. After our trip, they even arranged for one of our lost items to be returned to us.

Cons:

The rooms in the front do get a bit of road niose.
