The hotel was very nice. We had dinner and breakfast in the hotel restaurant and both were delicious. Lots of pubs to walk in and out of within a couple of blocks. Met some of the locals and had a fun evening.

We stayed here because we wanted to explore the Ring of Kerry, and it turned out to be the perfect location. The locals were incredibly sweet and welcoming—we ended up having some great evenings playing pool and chatting with them. The rooms were clean, spacious, and very comfortable. Breakfast was hearty and satisfying, and dinner was just as delicious. The staff were wonderful—friendly and full of great recommendations for nearby sights. A great stay all around!
