Two nights stay, 3 adults and five children. The place is filthy, cold, damp and needs a really good overhaul of all accommodation. We were so disappointed and would not have stayed the 2nd night but could not find alternative accommodation. It was so cold we had to buy hot water bottles to keep warm. Beds really uncomfortable, filthy, stained... More

We only stayed one night. The lady was really nice, pleasent & helpful. The place was very cold especially having tiles in the main foyer. my friend found hair in her bed. Comfortable beds. Not enough blankets woke up quiet cold. Breakfast was really quiet good - one of the better breakfasts we had had. Basic but good! Porraige and... More

This has got to be the worst place ever to stay in. Old and definitely in need of updating. Rust in the shower and a but dirty and grimy looking. The walls are paper thin. In the morning I could hear the staff preparing breakfast in the kitchen and I could hear the other guests chatting over their breakfast. No... More

We've stayed in B&Bs before but this one was sadly lacking. From the outside looked good, great location etc but it is in need of some TLC to bring it up to standard. The furnishings were worn and dated. The decor was lack lustre and unwelcoming. The room we had was quite large but the en-suite was tiny, a bit... More

We (two adults, 14yo and 11yo) stayed a night here during our drive around Ireland. The B & B was in a great location - enjoyed a beautiful meal in the village of Salthill at a lovely little restaurant (the name escapes me, but it has a piano and they have meal specials - great!). The beds were a little... More

This is a wonderful B & B. Not an upscale fancy hotel but a warm and friendly Irish place to spend several nights at a great price. Breakfast is included, Sharon is a local and knows where to go for dining, pubs, and almost everything else. Made our stay. More

I must admit I was a bit weary about some of the reviews/comments in here, but nothing further from our experience: from the moment we arrived we were made feel very welcome. Our rooms (attic) were very nice & clean. If anything, the bathroom was on the small side, but still nice & clean. This was our first time in... More

The room we stayed in (the bigger attic room) had so much character, space and a beautiful washroom with a jacuzzi. It was less expensive than the hostels in the city that we were trying to book and included breakfast. The staff were great. I would definitely recommend this spot. It's right on the promenade and it is a nice... More

Winter hit early in Nov. and boy did it hit. Temps were in the negatives and that was during the day. When we arrived at 3pm, we expected to be welcomed to a warm Bed & Breakfast establishment. This was completely the opposite. It was FREEZING. They told us the heat only is on from 5pm and they didn't even... More
