It had everything I needed for my weekend away in the beautiful Beara peninsula. Connie and Jess are absolutely fabulous souls, that had real time and good advice. The room I had was massive, the bed was extremely comfortable, the shower was powerful. And not forgetting Flossy there Labrador, with an equally beautiful personality. Everything here is excellent. Close to 3 bars where I had a great night on the Friday night (Jimmys) with live traditional music. I will be back ASAP. Thank you 🙏 for everything.

    Beautiful hotel and in a great location overlooking the ocean! We drove and found it quite easily. They had parking out the back which made it easy for us to park and enter the premises. The room was large and spacious and so was the bathroom. The hotel was connected to a bar which we found appealing for afternoon drinks! They also had various other rooms you could use such as a quiet room and a billiards room. There was lots to choose from for breakfast and it was always delicious! We had a great stay thank you!

    Great hosts, nothing too much trouble, bit of banter with the host about cutlery (long story!) Would highly recommend this b&b. Good location within easy walking distance into waterville. Room clean and cozy, huge bathroom, quiet area, fab food compliments to the chef. Restored our faith in b&b as you didn't feel like you were visiting an elderly aunts house!
