Location perfect for the Ring of Skellig / Ring of Kerry drive and close to the Cliffs of Kerry. Close to 2 scenic beaches with few people. Staff welcoming and very kind, helping with where to have a tire repaired close by. Restaurant on site had excellent food, reasonably priced.

"Can't wait to come back!"
Absolutely amazing! Everything went well, better than I was expecting. Thanks a million again to Deimante, who made my partner's birthday more special and made sure everything was OK for us. Location, hotel itself, decor, staff in the bar and food were just as good. Breakfast was something else (another reason why we want to come back). A bit underrated place we thought — definitely better than 3 stars.

"I had a very nice stay here"
This is a fantastic hotel. I stayed in two separate rooms on a recent trip and both were clean, comfortable, and well-appointed. The young ladies who worked the front desk and the breakfast bar were very friendly and helpful. The attached restaurant served excellent food. Having the grocery store right across the street was also very convenient.

"Generally clean, comfortable, friendly and good value"
Dinner and breakfast were both excellent and the staff were friendly. We enjoyed a few quiet pints after dinner. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Parking at the back of the hotel meant our motorbikes were out of public view, so really quite secure.
