    The water pressure was terrible and it wasn’t even enough for a shower which is disappointing as the bathroom looked recently refurbished. Maybe this was due to being on the third floor

    Great location and amenities.

    Stairs were a bit narrow and steep for carrying cases up two flights, maybe this should be added on information as I would not have booked as I use a crutch and the ladies travelling also have disabilities. I felt it was a bit much having to pay for parking on top of the bed rates, as its only a very narrow drive.

    The room was grand, clean, beds comfortable, Owner greet us and was nice.

    Its a lovely quiet place, not big but a good size and clean. Top up's daily with coffees etc. just off the hustle and bustle but only a few minutes walk to Eyre Square. this is my second time renting out this place and will do if i come to this side of Ireland again

    It wasn't exactly a problem, but the staff wasn't really helpful and didn't answer my messages. It was the only thing we didn't like

    Comfortable, beautiful and location was perfect! We had all we needed, except the parking, which wasn't available at that moment. The balcony view was superb!

    There was an odor coming from the bathroom. The water pressure was weak and the water in the shower did not drain properly. It was difficult to bring all of our luggage up to the 3rd floor with no elevator. No assistance was offered.

    The room was spacious enough for all of our luggage and room to walk around. The overall cleanliness was good. Lovely view.

    Car parking was extra cost and it was only their driveway. The parking is cramped and was very difficult to get to. And the cost of £15 a night was way too much. And it was cash only.

    Very nice property and our room was very comfortable.

    Good location + comfortable room/bed (inconvenient shower)

    • Double Room with Garden View

    The shower head was small and the water pressure was very low, it was hard to take a good shower because it was fixed in the wall and you couldn’t just take it and use it however you would prefer. That could be uncomfortable for someone who is too tall or too short. Sounds/noise/voices from the main hall downstairs could be heard really well while we were in our room. The walls don’t really isolate the sound that well and you could hear everything. Thankfully it wasn’t too much of a problem, just a slight inconvenience.

    The bed was big and comfortable, the room was also well prepared and nice! We got lucky and got the room on the other side of the house where we wouldn’t hear the cars on the busy street, so for us it was quiet. It was very clean and they changed our towels and cleaned the room while we were away. Staff was punctual and nice and met us at exactly 4pm.

    No cold space to store beverages etc. if I had been travelling with my friend, beds would be too close together. Squeaky floor boards made me conscious of annoying others while moving around the room. Very small mould spots in corner of shower.

    View out outdoor garden area was ok. Acceptable walk to main city areas which was handy. Host stayed up extra late to accommodate my late arrival and was pleasant about it. Good size room for one. Very comfortable bed and nice crispy linen.
