Reviewed Sep 4, 2026A beautiful property with tasteful decor and everything you could need in the kitchen. We received a very warm welcome with delicious homemade scones and jam and the coffee machine all ready to go. Really comfortable sofas in the living room and very comfortable beds too. Everything was clean and nicely presented. It was a pleasure to meet our host, Sharon, who very kindly gave us a lift into the village due to a couple of members in our party having mobility issues.
Location is not ideal if you wanted to walk into the village but there is plenty of parking space for cars.

Reviewed Sep 2, 2025We loved everything about this accomodation. If only the weather was better for us we would have enjoyed the walks to and from the village, however, Storm Erin hit us like a ton of Bricks !!
There were flies in the living/kitchen area, but no Fly Spray to use. There was no Spatula for the Frying Pan. Trying to get a taxi was a nightmare. To and from the village. Only for the very friendly Bar staff in the local pubs we would have had to walk home late at night in the pouring rain. Other than that we enjoyed every minute of our stay.

We brought our own drinks and food, There were little things like musty odors, but disapated once we ventaled the rooms, it was early in the season so probably not used much over winter months.

O'Connor's is a few more minutes south. I would stay here again.

We enjoyed these views from the comfortable sitting room on the second level as our guest room was on the back side of the house. Our room was comfortable, quiet and well appointed. The dining room is attractive and breakfast was quite good.
This property does not have a lift, so guests need to carry their luggage up the stairs (two floors in our case.) We knew of this and it was not a problem for us, but could be for other travelers.
