A good stop off for the Wild Atlantic Way
Pros:

Dinner in the restaurant was surprisingly very good. The staff were lovely and the room very comfortable and spacious

Cons:

In room 113 there was some very strange electrical noises until late into the early hours. The view from the window was a roof.
