Connor & Margaret were fantastic! Both were warm & welcoming. Location was perfect to explore Galway, Cliffs of Mohr and surrounding areas (by car). The best part - their make to order full breakfast choices. Literally, you sit down and they are preparing while serving morning coffee/tea. Loved this place!

Nice B&B in the Burrens area. Not a lot of things to do in the area, had to drive for everything. Limited restaurant options in the area. The one restaurant that was recommended was reservation only.

The interior of the place tidy and their breakfast was substantial and tasty — great porridge! They had recently painted and our initial room had a strong paint odor so we asked to move. The new room was nice and had tea and coffee, however the bathroom was lacking. There was no place to put our stuff, the toilet seat was broken and the shower was terrible — weak water pressure! The outside of the property could be tidied up.

Old Fashion stay clean stay

We stayed in the three bedroom room. Room was of adequate size and had a small coffee table with a hot tea pitcher. Breakfast in the morning was very good. I ordered the vegetarian breakfast which had a lot of fresh fruit and also came with portage, yougurt and coffee. My companions ordered the Full Irish for breakfast and they explained that it was very good and it was a lot of food. Our food was included and well worth it We ate in a small, but nicely decorated dinning area. Hotel had a more traditional feel, like staying in Ireland in a bygone time. It had a clean bathroom with a tub that was very tall and somewhat difficult to get in. It had a shower attachment and glass wall in the tub so you could shower. The beds were a little bit on the harder side. but otherwise the room was comfortable. The location of the room was adequate. Overall the stay was nice. Breakfast was amazing. Staff was very kind. We had no overall complaints. I recommend you check out the small Newton Castle nearby, interesting place
