Great place to stay, very comfortable. The hosts (and their dog) were very friendly and welcoming. Elizabeth was a delight and so helpful telling us all good places to visit in town plus directions. We were treated to a full Irish breakfast in the morning with homemade bread which was delicious!

The breakfast was really great. The baked goods were baked by the owners and delicious and served in a bright dining area next to the garden. The location was outside of town yet still walkable from the center and castle. Of course an extremely pleasant couple who made us feel at home :) Much love! Great stay!
