Magique, charme, histoire et confort au cœur du Connemara.
Pros:

Magnifique hôtel à l’ancienne, feu de cheminée à côté de la réception, toujours des clefs pour les chambres et pas des cartes, situé juste au départ de la skyroad. Parking souterrain juste en face. Sous le supermarché Valu, l’hôtel sent bon le folklore irlandais, bar très cosi ainsi que le petit salon. Moment hors du temps.
