"Óstán den scoth"

10.0

Absolutely outstanding experience from start to finish. I think it is the best hotel experience I've ever had. Stunning location, exceptional hospitality and warmth and delicious food. There was a real opportunity to embrace using and hearing the Irish language also as an Irish language course was taking place at the hotel at the same time as my stay. The other guests were also really convivial.

This hotel is family owned and the owners are there making sure all your needs are met. The room was amazing with a view of the lake and the church. The food was delicious and so well presented. The bar had everything you desired and beautiful sitting rooms to talk, read or just relax. The staff was all amazing! I would give it a 100% Also very nice trails to hike.
