Michael greeted me with a smile and even carried my bag upstairs to the room. The room was spacious with a very comfortable bed and a good clean bathroom. View over the river. Buffet breakfast waa included and very generous. Lovely selection of stewed fruits, yoghurt, cold meats and cheese. Delicious pancakes on the first day and full Irish on the second. Very welcoming and well worth another visit. Thanks Michael!

"The owner, Teresa, was attentive to our requests and offered helpful information for exploring the region. Our room was very small for a double. Had to stack our suitcases on the chairs. No room for a small table. But the price was affordable and room very clean, quiet and comfortable."
