A beautiful B&B, by far the best we stayed at in Ireland. Josephine and her husband were wonderful hosts. The room was very comfortable, with a lot of little extras that you would not normally expect. The breakfast was delicious and with so many different things to order, all freshly prepared. I don't understand why this B&B is not rated 5* as it certainly was 5*s in our books. Would highly recommend.

We stayed one night at this lovely B&B and upon arrival Josephine gave us directions to a fabulous restaurant. The rooms were beautifully decorated, beds were comfortable and breakfast was incredible! I hope to come back for a couple of days in the future with my husband. Josephine, thank you for being so wonderful and caring to us. Your home is beautiful!
