The breakfast was very nice. Very nice views. Free parking.
We booked a 'double room, 1 double bed' and were given 2 single beds. The room was VERY cold as the heating was only on very low. The bathroom was even colder as there was no heating at all. There were electric blankets on the beds which helped a little but we didn't sleep very well.
The room was rather dated and could do with being modernised. The soundproofing isn't great.
The water in our jug in our room didn't look very clean.
Whilst the house is essentially only a 20 minute walk to Baltimore, the walk is very dangerous so we had to drive. We couldn't get a taxi for less than 20 Euro and there didn't appear to be any public transport. This obviously limited what we could do in the evening, without having to drive.

Everything was perfect!
Marguerite is an absolutely lovely host and her place is amazing. I would wholeheartedly recommend it to anybody in the area, and I wish we could of stayed longer.
First Marguerite is so friendly and accommodating. We arrived right at the end of check in (2000/8pm) due to taking country roads instead of the main ones on accident. I messaged her and she immediately responded saying it was not a problem. She gave us a warm welcome upon arrival. We've been traveling for 6 months straight and never felt more at home than at this B&B.
The room is incredibly comfy, the beds have heated blankets which is lovely during the winter night. The place was nicely decorated and everything was clean. It was also very nice having an ensuite restroom. She provided towels, standard Toiletries, water, tea and coffee. Also, the seaview is an amazing add on. It was so lovely waking up and seeing the water, grazing cattle, and the natural greenery.
Breakfast was outstanding, especially since its included free of charge. Everything was tasty and well cooked. I had sausages, eggs, bacon and various breads (most of which were homemade). My partner had the full Irish Breakfast, which was also delicious. There are also many other options, but definitely recommend these choices.
If youre looking for a true B&B experience this is the place. Everything was perfect and if were ever back in the area this will be the first place we return to.

The property is lovely and has a wonderful view of the bay. It sits up on a hill so getting to it is very steep! The host was wonderful and the room was bright and comfortable with a nice bathroom. We left before breakfast so I can't comment on it.

Unglaublicher Blick auf die Bucht!
Wir waren für zwei Nächte dort. Wir hatten ein geräumiges Zimmer mit guten Betten.
Bad war sehr klein aber zweckmäßig.
Das Haus im allgemeinen sehr hellhörig.
Die Lage ist Mega! Abends kann man entspannt vor dem Haus sitzen und auf die Bucht runter schauen. Unglaublich schön.
Frühstück war wunderbar und mehr als ausreichend in der Menge. Es wurde alles frisch mit lokalen Zutaten bereitet.
Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder!

Uitzicht over de baai was prachtig, kamer was ruim. Ontbijt was prima, versgebakken huisgemaakt brood en scones, lokale kazen - erg lekker.
Badkamer was een pijpenla, erg smal en klein.
