super nice hosts, Connor was very kind and shared a lot about the Burren, and Ferris in the kitchen, with a selection of warm breakfast each day you can chose from if you want to stay several days i had a double room with chairs and tons of space, very spacious, comfortable, clean with beautiful views of one of the Burren hills a car or bikes would be needed to get around as roads are narrow and dangerous to walk, lots to do around, perfect location to explore the area, plenty to do from there with a car, but not a bustling town situation I went to sheep dog demonstration under stormy conditions and had a wonderful time

Very cozy atmosphere, amazing views of the countryside. The room was perfect for 4 adults (my husband and I & our two adult children). The room had a queen bed & two twin beds. The beds had a flat sheet and comforter! The breakfast was perfect. The guys enjoyed the pool table too. Short drive to the Cliffs of Moher and there’s a lovely restaurant close by called Monks. I would definitely stay here again.
