Beautiful and quaint hotel. Lovely welcome, and comfortable room. We had a lovely view of the harbour. The breakfast was delicious, only downside was no option for full Irish vegetarian breakfast. So I had food envy as I sadly opted for scrambled eggs in toast. However had I ordered a pastry I don’t think I would have been disappointed as they looked delicious. I would recommend this hotel.
