The room included a large bed. I had hot water available. There was a kettle and tea in the room. The location had convenient access to the ferry to Tory Island.

The landing window frames needed cleaning. They clearly had not been cleaned recently.

Fantastic Stay in a Comfortable Room

comfortable bedtasty foodcooking smell

The location was super accessible to everything I needed. I particularly loved the comfortable beds and I highly recommend the food and drinks in the bar downstairs. It was so convenient and tasty, I loved it there!

I did notice a slight cooking smell coming from the kitchen under the door and some loud music until late on the weekend. It would be helpful if the website mentioned this potential noise.

convenient locationcomfortable bedgood foodnoise issueloud musiccooking smell

the location proved quite convenient for visiting nearby attractions such as glenveagh national park.. the bed offered a comfortable night's sleep and the shower worked well. i also enjoyed the food available at the pub located below the guest house.

the room above the pub did present some noise issues late into the night. loud dance music persisted until 4 am one night making sleep difficult. i also noticed a cooking smell at times coming from under the door to the kitchen, which i found unpleasant.
