What a Place! I was here through work. I brought a group of 10 ladies away and we couldn't have picked a better place to stay. The staff were all very attentive and nothing was too much bother. A special shout out to Geraldine, the two Gerard's and Darren. They were all so friendly and went above and beyond to make sure our stay was perfect from trying to arrange a tour for us recommending where would be best to take the women. The rooms are so comfortable, spotless and have everything you need. We will most definitely be back for another visit, they have already spoke about booking for a Christmas trip!! Thanks to all who made our stay perfect, the staff are a credit to this place. See you all again soon from Joanne, Kevin and the ladies!
Stayed here for an overnight between Dublin and Ballycastle. It was a Saturday and we managed to get a table for dinner, which was lovely. The room, number 102 was really nice with a comfy bed and nice bathroom but was directly above the bar. As it was Saturday, there was live music on and normally that would be fine but as we'd had an early start and had travelled quite a way it was very loud. Also the staff clearing up at the end of the night scraped the chairs noisily along the floor - there is no need to do this, lift the chair to move it! I would recommend this hotel as a good place to stop off at but ask for a different room if you are offered 102 and are a light sleeper.
We called in for dinner on Sunday 18th Aug 2019. It was the first time I had been there in many years. I'm happy to report that the food was very good and the place had a comfortable atmosphere. The staff were efficient and very friendly.
This understated, family-run lodging is 1.9 miles from Lough Ross and 3.8 miles from Ashfield Golf Course.
