We stayed here because we wanted to explore the Ring of Kerry, and it turned out to be the perfect location. The locals were incredibly sweet and welcoming—we ended up having some great evenings playing pool and chatting with them. The rooms were clean, spacious, and very comfortable. Breakfast was hearty and satisfying, and dinner was just as delicious. The staff were wonderful—friendly and full of great recommendations for nearby sights. A great stay all around!
