    Room was a bit dated, but perfectly clean and comfortable

    Great team and a great location - didn't realise there was a festival on, but I was contacted straight away after booking to tell me the situation - great service

    Can’t think of anything off hand.

    The meals were exceptional. Being on the main street it was delightfully quieter than expected. The rooms were charming but the greatest gift of the stay was the staff. Each and all were exceptionally knowledgeable and helpful. They were the best assets. It was a delightful experience. Thank you. Jim and Joan O’Loughlin

    We had to rent two rooms for our family because they did not have any rooms with a double and twin bed. However, our daughter really enjoyed getting her own room--so for her, the experience was absolutely wonderful!

    Beautiful place; helpful and friendly staff; easy access to many places in the Burren

    Maybe evening entertainment or even TV would be great in the dining area

    The hospitality from check throughout our stay was so warm and caring. They made myself and my husband but more importantly my fur baby Zebo ever so welcome to their property. Our room was comfortable and spacious with tea coffee and biscuits in the room on arrival. The cleanliness of the room was exceptional esp as this was my first time staying at pet friendly hotel. The food was also lovely.

    The shower could do with updating.

    This hotel was lovely. Very close to the bus station, the staff were so friendly and helpful. The bed was very comfortable, the food in the restaurant was delicious especially the soup. The village of Lisdoonvarna is not far from the cliffs and is very easy to reach by bus if you don’t have a car.

    The township was quiet and lacked animation as did the hotel - probably due to the bad weather. The room was spacious as mentioned but it was quite old-fashioned.

    This is a very friendly hotel. The owners were very willing to give advice and tourist tips on where to go. The room was large and spacious. The hotel is reasonably convenient to tourist spots such as the Cliffs of Moher and the Burren.

    Nothing not to like. It is exactly as advertised and more. The bar area doubles as the restaurant which takes away the cosy feel, but now I am picking.

    Clean, very well run, family managed hotel with very hospitable staff.

    Staff are extremelly nice and helpful, always smiling and helping their guests. We went there with our little dog and he was very welcome in all areas (I would recommend telling them in advance just in case). We spent one night in this hotel and the rooms are big, beds are really comfortable and the food is delicious (we had lunch and dinner in their restaurant and I only have good things to say about the food). Breakfast also really good!
