....First, let me tell you, the women behind the front desk were very nice and helpful .....and they liked my wellies.... Our room was big and quiet, everything worked (no lights were out or switches not working). Dinner at the restaurant and our breakfasts were really good with plenty of healthy choices. I had a bowl of porridge that they made for me each morning with fruit... But everything shuts down early in the small town, like 8-ish, so be prepared for that. If you are going to arrive after that time, have some dinner before you get there or bring it with you... Dinner was a problem one night after a long "Ring of Kerry" drive. But the "Beara Peninsula" drive day was fantastic ! We were back to the hotel with plenty of time to relax and have a lovely dinner with wine and cocktails at Mac Carthy's Pub/Restaurant in the hotel.... I wish the weather would have been better so we could have taken the Ferry to Garnish Island, which I'm told is really nice. Ferry takes off across the street and also, there is one down the street so do check out both if one isn't running maybe the other is.... The Blue Pools are across the street and even in the drizzly to rainy weather in our raincoats with the hoods up, it was still pretty, even kinda romantic with good picture taking opportunities. There's an Irish Gift store next to hotel with nice smelling stuff... I bought some Inis shower gel and lotion... Oh, when I booked the room (months ago). I requested a bottle of wine to be there chilling and it was so nice ! That was a long driving day for us and to relax with a glass of wine as soon as we walked into the room after being in the car for a long time, was fantastic !! This is a great choice for a hotel in this area !!! Thank You for a lovely stay !!! Kristin and Eric, from Michigan
