    The plumbing was old, and consequently the toilet took forever to refill before it could be flushed again! 😂. The bathroom lock could've done with a bit of WD40 on it as well, to make closing and opening easier. However, these were minor thing's.. 🤷‍♂️

    Very quirky, comfortable little place, that Melissa, the owner, kept spotlessly clean. It was a credit to her. Service with a smile, all question's answered. Great little place imo, that I'd highly recommend... 🙂 G

    The disadvantages are that the house is very noisy and that it was not really warm in the room in winter.

    The hostel is charmingly located in a house on the main street of the village. The kitchen has most of the things you need.

    The bedroom was very cold the first night and the beds were very uncomfortable. As I was driving, this made the next day pretty tough. Advertisement of a hot tub wasn't totally accurate, as it was filled with stagnant water and unusable which was a bummer.

    Great location. Nice and quiet. Enjoyed hanging out with Jumpy the rabbit. Good value for money for what we were looking for, and a great stopping point on your way down the coastline in Ireland. Breakfast was adequate, nothing special but was what I wanted.

    The reception is practically closed, the host were only helpful when moving in, but less helpful when there was a deficiency hopefully just we got her heavy day . The parking lot and the indicated "jakuzzi", garden with swing , bbq grill and ocean views are not opened. You have to buy the wood for the barrel and it takes four hours to warm up, so the owner said that she would not undertake this. The bunny is cute, but it is the guests' responsibility not to let him in, because he pees everything and eats the apples and seeds left outside, he is very observant because he sneaks in if someone is not attentive. There is only 1 toilet with shower for 6 guests. Since the wifi is stuck, it is almost unusable.

    Direct kitchen entrance from the bus stop. Stylish furnishings and everything you need for a short stay.perfect for a group of friends or just for sleeping.

    ladder up to the top bunk was far too small, wood felt like it was creaking and could hardly fit my body through. On the first night I did not arrange late check in. Would prefer it done by text.

    Nice location. Every facility expected. Reasonable price.

    There is just one bathroom with toilet and shower for everyone so there could be a bit of a q at night and in the morning. No facilities for drying wet clothes like swim gear as far as I know. The small kitchen could do with a few knives for chopping vegetables

    It is a lovely hostel, small and basic and it felt like stepping back in time when there were many hostels like this in Ireland. It wouldn’t be for everyone though… I do like simple things so it was perfect for me.

    Only one place in village for dinner. Just one shower toilet. Also the owners child was unwell and naturally her attention was on her, so that affected some things.

    Friendly owners

    Noise levels at times (at least in the double room by the kitchen), there needs to be better kitchen utensils for cooking (eg, knifes, peeler, pans, oven trays) and an extractor fan. An additional toilet in the hostel would really help.

    Beautiful and welcoming place, host was friendly and helpful with our late arrival on first day, sitting room is cosy, overall there's a nice atmosphere in the hostel, the bunny is very cute. Breakfast includes a variety of options. Location and surrounding area are perfect

    The tiny room is cold and cramped with very poor sound proofing. The host lives above the room with a small child (which screams a-lot). On arrival the smell of fresh paint in the bathroom was overpowering. I was the only guest in the property but if the accommodation was at capacity it would be far too cramped. The towels provided are the size of a tea towel so completely inadequate. Breakfast very basic with no provision at all for dietary requirements.

    I thought the fireplace in my room would work, but it was boarded up and painted over. Also, as a tall person, my room was a bit cramped. I had a radiator on my room but saw no way to turn it on or adjust it, so i was a bit cold. I think this would be more fun with a group or during the summer months. Also, the instructions for the hot tub were a bit confusing, so I didn't use it.

    Host had breakfast set out the night before. Some cute decorations and the outdoor area seems fun!
