Just what you need at a great price

Great stay for a great price. It's a simple, functional, yet somehow still very homey and welcoming accommodation. It's not a full service resort or hotel, but it's the best value for money in Ireland. Would recommend, would come back.

Quick layover before heading to Dublin.

Check in great, given a fob to easily access the room and house. Everything was clean and well maintained, close to a grocery store and restaurants, very convenient location.

Modern beautiful Guesthouse. Pristine. A beautiful relaxing place. Opulent but unfortunately there is no breakfast provided. A very big disappointment. But for the price, i stayed a week i couldn't recommend the monkey puzzle Guesthouse highly enough. Self catering. A good car parking space. EXCELLENT.

Lovely set up in a lovely part of Ireland

We enjoyed night one ao booked an additional night. Loved the kitchen, dining room and sitting room ( despite two guests going into it and locking everyone else out? Not sure if they did it on purpose or not) Room has ample space Everything's new and great. Maybeca problem if full up getting enough bathroom time as appears to be only 3 showers for 29 rooms? Maybe some ate ensuite? Walking distance to shops ans supermarket opposite. Plenty of good parking. Helpful staff

Rent och perfekt ordnat! Mycket prisvärt!

Mycket prisvärt litet hotell, perfekt med P utanför. Superrent och vackra fina färska blommor. Stort rent kök där man gör si egen frukost. Verkligen värde för pengarna när man är ute på tur över flera dagar

Sehr sauber und organisiert. Zugangscode und weitere Infos kamen direkt kurz nach Check-In Zeit(15Uhr) Leider sehr laut, weil direkt an der Hauptstraße gelegen und schlecht bis gar nicht isoliert. Habe 75 Euro bezahlt, was für ein Hostel viel zu teuer ist. War aber notgedrungen das beste was ich finden konnte.
