Second time I have stayed and it is a lovely place for a quiet, comfortable stay with the feel of home as opposed to feeling like a hotel. Fresh cooked breakfast and not far from town for afternoon or evening food options.

Warm & welcoming bnb

We stayed at The ring farmhouse for a wedding, it was a quiet and peaceful location. Carmel looked after us well, particularly at breakfast and even saved the day by lending us an iron. We had a good sized room and ensuite bathroom with the fluffiest towels we've ever had in any bnb. A lovely stay!

I stayed for 1 night whilst away for work. A really tranquil and pleasant property, and the host was just lovely. The whole place was squeaky clean, the bed super-comfortable and the homemade breakfast was amazing. Will definitely stay again when working in the area.
