small room few outlets

the breakfast was good and filling, a decent start to the day.

The room i had was quite small. I struggled to find space for my luggage. also, there were very few plug outlets. Charging my devices became a bit of a juggling act. it was a bit frustrating.

Wonderful Stay with Excellent Service

short walk premises parking beautiful courtyard many options

The location was a short walk to shops , restaurants , and the train station. I had parking on the premises which was convenient. The gated courtyard was beautiful with lovely flowers. The breakfast had many options and the service was excellent.

My room was a bit small with limited space for luggage , and charging my devices was slightly inconvenient due to few plug outlets.

Great Little Hotel

excellent breakfast friendly staff lovely garden

I found the breakfast superb. It had excellent options available. The staff were friendly. The location was ideal. Ross Castle are both walkable, if you want some exercise. I also liked the free parking, a great benefit. It made travel easy. The B&B has a lovely garden area. This includes tables and chairs.

The room was small and there was no real space for luggage. There were few plug outlets to charge phones. This made keeping devices charged a challenge.

Dining

9/10

Breakfast service featured a variety of choices, including fresh fruit and cereals, alongside cooked options. The dining area was clean and well-kept. Hot items are prepared on request by the kitchen staff, which are really delicious.
