The location provided easy access to the village for cafes and restaurants, and it was convenient for park walks. The room was beautiful and comfortable. Breakfast, available for purchase, was generous and enjoyable. I found the newly decorated premises appealing.

The shower was small.

convenient locationoutdated roomdifficult breakfast

Location is quite convenient, very close to Kilbroney Park so that's a plus.

My room seemed it hadn't been updated in years and the shower wasn't really good for adults. Breakfast was hard to get, it was too busy that morning and it was not possible to have it. no one was around when I had left the hotel.

i enjoyed the central location. it was within walking distance of the town. lots of things to do were very close by. the hosts. they were genuine people.

The shower was too small for adults. the bathroom size was huge, i think a bath would have been better than a shower with a cupboard door on. the host was barely seen. I wasn't able to have breakfast. the cooking was apparently crammed as was cooking for 6 people.

The location was very convenient. It was next to the beach, not in the town center, but close enough to walk for shopping. The breakfast was great, clean. There are many things to see around here.

The room was nice, but I wish there was a bath. The shower was too small for adults. The size of the bathroom was huge, so a bath would have been a lot better than the current shower. The bed was comfortable.
