Cong Ryan Hotel
Viihtyisä hotelli eloisassa pienessä kylässä. Hotellin yhteydessä oleva pubi oli mahtava. Palvelu ystävällistä ja aamiainen oli hyvä. Huone oli siisti mutta pesihuoneessa tuoksui paljon puhdistusaine.
Hotellin oma parkkipaikka oli loistava

Comfy rooms, tasty breakfast
Lovely family run business. Great patio area that is probably hopping in the spring and summer with music and craic! The village is small but great for hiking, biking and fishing.

Cute place. But very noisy. Traffic rolled by throughout the night. I didn't sleep well at all.
