charming slice of history!
This is an older building that is VERY well cared for. The staff was excellent, accommodating, and friendly. Offered advice on where to go, things to do/see. The breakfast was excellent. If you are looking for a place with an "old time" feel, book here! The only real downside was the parking. It's not close if you are carting bags, and the hotel is right on the street. So if there isn't a spot in front of the building, you could be dragging bags a little ways from your vehicle.

This is an attractive little hotel, well kept-up and immaculately clean. The hotel restaurant’s food was delicious and there was plenty of it; be sure to sample the homemade raspberry jam. The staff was delightful, starting with the proprietor (Lynn), who offered a gracious welcome and good advice on local attractions. She obviously makes a point of hiring nice people, too, because her staff was uniformly charming and friendly. Loved my stay here!

The owners, family and staff are wonderful! We were arriving late because we were driving up from Cork, but they waited for us to arrive and helped us with our luggage into the room as soon as we arrived. They were very understanding and were amazing hosts. Breakfast was delicious and we also ate dinner there one night, and it was amazing. Everyone there was so nice and talked to you and asked about our trip and what we had planned and helped point out some places we may want to go see. They were so helpful and the room was perfect for us. Not far from Doolin and the Cliffs of Moher in the town of Lisdoonvarna. Parking is free in a public lot just up the street. Would definitely stay again.

A gem of a hotel. The hotel was like being invited into an Irish home. The proprietors made you feel like you were welcome and appreciated. Family owned and the pride showed in all aspects from the cleanliness of the rooms and bath, to the dinner with its unbelievable tasty prawn salad with a dressing that was the best I tasted in my travels. It is 5 star. The breakfast was made as if you had been called down to the table. Hot and delicious. If you looking for a Holiday Inn, not your place, but if you are looking to travel back to an era when hospitality and friendliness were integral to a stay at a pub/hotel in Ireland, then this is the spot. The hotel was hands down the best of any of the stays we had in Ireland. Would come back again and recommend to all.

Lynn, John, and Anna made us feel so welcome and cared for. We were late the first night due to Airline delays. They stayed up and greeted us like lost family members. The breakfast was delicious and fresh. And the little bar was a nice place to wrap up the night. I will stay there again when in the area.
