    Would have loved a cooked breakfast but the stay as a whole more than made up for this.

    Staff were a pleasure to talk to and nothing was too much trouble. The room was newly decorated and very comfortable.

    Seamus greeted us and was so accommodating, making sure we were comfortable in our room. Everything had recently been renovated and painted and everything was really clean and new-looking. Just a short walk down the hill to the bus and train stations and town centre.

    We didn't know if they had a breakfast, but that would have been great.

    The room was better than we thought, they had undergone a recent renovation, and they were more clean than expected.

    This is newly remodelled to a very lux standard and is very cozy and comfortable. It’s just a few minutes walk from the city centre without all the noise from the pubs and nightclubs that you get in the heart of the city. The owners and all the staff where easy to communicate with and very friendly!!!

    Paper thin walls, can hear everything happening in other rooms from people coughing to phones buzzing, woken up by the staff arriving in the morning at 6am. Rooms were small and the TV's in the rooms were even smaller. The shower was clogged. The bed was uncomfortable and I could feel the springs and pillows were very thin.

    Clean and newly renovated

    No bath towels in room had to dry with hand towel bedroom windows had no privacy as just roller blind. 2nd day no tea coffee water replenished old mug left unwashed. Shower very small tv very very small. Spoke to owner over the telephone regarding towels and no replenishment of the tea/coffee water etc his reply was I’ve spent over €300,000.00 to upgrade the house if you don’t like it leave which we did thankfully found a wonderful lady who made us very welcome at her accommodation. We paid £165.00 a night room only basis over priced absolutely shocking service very rude owner who needs to go on a management course

    The location was good

    We arrived around 3 pm to a locked house. Ended up ringing the doorbell repeatedly and eventually called the contact. Someone came shortly after 4 pm. This was not an ideal welcome. We were given a larger room than we originally booked as we were staying 5 nights. So it had a full and a twin. I have no idea how 3 people could use the room. We used the twin to put our stuff on. There was no where else other than the floor and a small closet with a few hangers. The quilt was extremely heavy with no top sheet so no cover option other than the heavy duvet. We requested a top sheet twice before we received it. There was no fridge. The bathroom was tiny with no place to put anything other than the window sill. The shower was definitely not newly renovated and would not drain. When I removed the drain cover, it was filthy with a large clump of black hair blocking it. This was cleared promptly by staff when informed. The water temperature in the shower would fluctuate perhaps responding to others using water in the house. The tv volume did not work. It was finally fixed by the 4th day. It did not really matter because the tv is high on the wall and comically tiny-computer sized. There was dust under the beds. Our room was a bedroom in a house. For the price, we could not recommend this accommodation.

    The room was in an older home that was renovated. The street is lined with these types of homes-all vacation rentals. There was fresh paint on the walls. The bed was small (full, not queen) but comfortable. The location is close to but not right in the middle of everything. Our room was not facing the street so it was quiet.
