Our best accommodation to date! Martina was fabulous, the room was amazing, so comfortable and clean, the shower was definitely the best I’ve had in Ireland, and such a great location. Martina and Larry are great hosts, really welcoming and always happy to help.

Picturesque country B&B

10.0

Larry, the B&B owner, was fantastic. Always on hand if you needed him and made us feel welcome. We can't thank him enough! The stay was comfortable and clean, lovely reclusive and quiet, we enjoyed every minutr inside the b&b. It is very rural, surrounded by fields and countryside. If you are looking to get away from it all this could be the place. The owners even provided some breakfast in the fridge for the first morning there, cooking facilities are a microwave and an air fryer. There is also an egg cooker and a toaster. Comfortable stay. Nice bathroom. We enjoyed the swing outside in the garden aswell!

The location can only be easily reached by car. Considering we didn't drive, we relied on buses and taxis but buses cancel on a whim and run every four hours, whilst taxis were also sparce and you took a chance whether they would be in the area. This is not something I blame the B&B for, as Larry went out of his way to give us lifts into the nearest towns when he could, for which we are very grateful for!! If you do not drive I would not recommend staying here as it is likely you will be left with no way out or in, its a remote location only truly accessible by car.

Everything is perfect!

10.0

We had the most wonderful stay with Larry and Martina. From the moment we arrived, they made us feel incredibly welcome, and their kindness and hospitality turned our trip into something truly special. The cottage is absolutely beautiful – cozy, spotless, and thoughtfully decorated with so many lovely little touches that made us feel right at home. The garden is simply magical, with beautiful trees, a swing, and peaceful spots to relax and enjoy nature. Every detail has been carefully considered, making the whole experience even more memorable. Larry and Martina have created a truly special place. Thanks to them, West Ireland will always have a special place in our hearts. We couldn't have wished for a better stay and would recommend this beautiful B&B to anyone looking for a peaceful, charming, and unforgettable experience. Thank you so much for everything – we hope to come back one day!
