    A few steps away from the city center, parking included just behind the structure. The guesthouse is finely furnished and the host provides some complementarities, which is always appreciated. The bed was very comfy!

    We stayed only one night in this welcoming quiet B&B within walking distance to the city center. Kind hosts and cute little dog. Good breakfast in the morning. Comfortable beds and warm shower. We would definitely come back.

    The rooms in this quaint house are very pretty- tasteful decor, warm, and welcoming. They aren't big but my single room was just right for me and my friend's double room worked for them as a couple. The bed was very comfortable and the setting was quiet. Coffee/tea pot tea/coffee was a nice touch. The owner was very responsive and check in is via door code so no need to meet up with them to get the key. Short walk into the center of town, so great location. Easy parking on site.

    Great location and within walking distance to city centre. Oonagh, the host was very welcoming and friendly. Breakfast was lovely. Room was a nice size and beds were comfy. I would recommend Carriag Rua but be prepared for a fast breakfast!
