"Culture is key to a great stay!! Great people."

9.0

The atmosphere, the people who run it, the other guests. A lovely place. Accepts dogs!! Make sure yours is well-behaved. Keeps others safe and comfortable so they continue to accept dogs :)

Just a tad far from things. With a car it didn’t matter, but just that. It is in fairly easy distance to see a lot of the awesome things in Northern Ireland! Did I mention the nice people!!

"So much better than just a hostel! Highly recommended!"

9.0

Don't be fooled, this place is so much better than a hostel! It's out in the countryside but near facilities. The welcome from Maebh was great. The family room was very spacious & the bathroom was massive. The beds were ultra comfortable (really high quality mattresses on all the beds). The kitchen & dining facilities were first class, any crockery or cooking utensils you needed were provided. Maebh rang local restaurants for us to ensure we got a decent evening meal. She had extensive local knowledge and was a mine of information. There was a nice class of fellow guests as well! No rowdy revellers! We wanted for nothing here, everything you could possibly need is provided. We would highly recommend staying here.

There is absolutely nothing to complain about.
