Charming Stay, Some Noise
large roomcold drinksfresh options
The family room was large and clean. I found even a mini fridge, a real plus for keeping drinks cold. Breakfast presented many fresh options, like breads, cheeses, and fruit, a real treat.
The location is near a busy road, my room did pick up some traffic noise. I am a light sleeper. It was only a minor disturbance.
Dining

The restaurant provided a superb sunday lunch, I noted that kids roast dinners were available. The value seemed very good considering the quality and presentation of the food. I felt very charmed.

The room was spacious and included a comfortable bed, I observed. I found it to be very clean, which gave a feeling of reassurance. A fan was in the room too, I was very glad.

Wild Ireland and Grianan fort are only minutes away, I appreciated that. The beach is situated just across the road, I considered this convenient. Plenty of parking is available too, a big relief.
